Library News
This week is one of the most anticipated events of the library year: The Premier's Reading Challenge Popcorn Party!
All of our challenge forms were submitted by Ms McLeod last term, and our awards have now arrived. We are having so much fun presenting each child with their award in library this week, and celebrating with a small popcorn treat.
Thank you families, for supporting your children by reading with them and completing the Premier's Reading Challenge form. An extra special thank you to Ms McLeod too, for reading stories during library lessons each week to help complete the challenge.
We are proud to have a school community that values reading for learning and for fun - that's something to celebrate!
