Our mantra at St Mary's is "READING IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOL"

FUNKY FRUIT REWARD

Students are encouraged to bring their library bags in on Wednesday or Thursday (depending on their borrowing day) to have a chance at winning the funky fruit reward for the week.  Last week's winner was Olly Kelso (Year 1) who won "Percy the Pineapple" - he was extremely happy and said that he was going to take Percy everywhere with him :)

Library Lovers' Day

Saturday 14 February was Library Lovers' Day, and I decided to get to know what the students at St Mary's love best. After surveying the Year 1 - 6 students in their second week back, we determined three of the top favourite things across the school are: sport, animals and computers. The students have enjoyed borrowing from displays built around these subjects and also helped with decorating the library to mark the occasion.  Students also made a bookmark for someone that they love.

LIBRARY DAYS

Borrowing will occur during library lessons to give the students more focused time to engage with library borrowing. Students must have a library bag with them on borrowing days. 

Please refer to the list below to see which day your child/ren will need to bring their library bags and return any books that are due in order to borrow new books. 

Children will not be allowed to borrow without a library bag from Week 5 onwards. 

ES1 - Wednesday

S1 - Thursday

S2 - Thursday

S3 - Wednesday
