Langy Park hosted National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) on Wednesday, 21st May. Students thoroughly enjoyed the book, sharing enthusiastic responses about their experience.

There were even participants joining us this year from countries including New Zealand, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, USA and the United Kingdom!
SCHOLASTIC BOOK CLUB - ISSUE 3
Orders were distributed at the end of last week. We had an amazing response to this issue, thank you for supporting this program. Just this week I have put out in our New to the Library section some of the books I have purchased with Scholastic reward points.
PREMIERS READING CHALLENGE
We are now one month into the PRC and there is great enthusiasm for borrowing during library sessions.
Our impressive total so far is 4079 books!
The PRC runs all this term and part of Term 3 (until 29th August) so if you haven’t started it is not too late.
Happy Reading!
THE GREAT LPPS BOOK HUNT!
We are still having the call out for those sneaky school library books that have gone missing. All books located will receive a raffle ticket that will go in the draw for a Canteen voucher. If you are unsure whether your child has any past due library books, please contact me or your class teacher to assist.
