Library News
Hello Parents and Carers,
Book Week is Coming!
Next term is Book Week, a highly anticipated event in the library where we come together to celebrate the magic of literature, the creativity of writing, and the incredible world of storytelling. This year's theme is 'Book an Adventure', inviting students to explore far-off places, secret lairs, magical treasures, and the captivating journeys of heroes and villains found within the pages of their favourite books. Throughout the week, we will host a variety of fun activities, including storytime sessions that highlight the wonderful adventures that books can offer. We will also celebrate our Book Week parade during Education Week, alongside our annual Open Day, allowing families to join in the festivities. More details about these exciting events will be shared soon, but for now, we encourage everyone to start thinking about their Book Week costume and how they can embody the adventurous spirit of their favourite characters!
Calling All Volunteers
The Library team is looking for parent volunteers who might be willing to help us in the library. We will train you on how to use the computers, stack the shelves, and assist Ms. Lee with preparing the books for the shelves. If you were one of the lovely parents who helped Ms. Lee last term, your help would be invaluable, but we also welcome assistance from anyone in our community who is willing to lend a hand.
If you are interested in helping Mr. Matthews and Ms. Lee, please contact the office via email with your name, contact information, and the days you are available to help, and ask for Mr. Matthews. He will forward your information to our office manager, and we will arrange for your time to start helping in the school library.
Thank you in advance!
That's it from us in the library. Have a great long weekend, and remember to keep on reading!
