Scholastic "Bookaneer Book Fair" 

Reading for pleasure unlocks the power of information and imagination and helps children discover who they are.

Here’s what you can do to help children develop stronger reading skills and a love for reading:

• Set the example - Let children see you read

• Have a collection of books in your home

• Update this collection routinely to keep up with changing tastes and reading skills

• Support our school’s Book Fair - Allow your children to choose their own books to read

The theme of our Scholastic Book Fair is Bookaneer Book Fair. It’s a fun reading event that brings the books kids want to read into our school. It’s a wonderful selection of engaging and affordable books for every reading level. Please make plans to visit our Book Fair and be involved in shaping your child’s reading habits.

DigiTech News 

We are diving into Digital Systems across the school this term in Digital Technology. We will be covering a range of topics related to digital systems including input and output devices, hardware and software, binary code and programming. 

Speaking of programming, this week is Scratch Week! 

Scratch Week is held 8 - 12 May and budding programmers from all over the world are invited to have a look at the themes released each day and create a project based on the theme. The week is finished off with Scratch Day on 13 May, where people can come together and share projects, and learn from each other. If you have someone with an interest in programming, Scratch and Scratch Jr are free to join and a great place to begin coding.
