Students are challenged to read a number of books and log them online over a specific period. It’s a fun and rewarding way to build literacy skills and explore new stories. Also, to see how many books you can read!!
Student login details for the Premier’s Reading Challenge will be sent home Monday. So, start diving into your books now and you can start logging next week!
More details to come. Stay tuned.
DID YOU FORGET TO RETURN BOOKS?
LIBRARY IS OPEN WEDNESDAY MORNINGS FOR RETURNS
Forgot to return your book on library day or received an overdue notice? No problem! The library will now be open every Wednesday before school for students to return any overdue books. Of course, you can still return books on your regular library day—this just gives you another chance in case you forget!
NATIONAL SIMULTANEOUS STORYTIME – SAVE THE DATE!
We’re excited to take part in this year’s National Simultaneous Storytime on Wednesday, 21st May!
This year’s book is The Truck Cat by Deborah Frenkel, a heart-warming story about Tinka— a cat who lives and travels in a truck with his human, Yacoub. As they journey together, the story explores themes of kindness, compassion, and the search for belonging. It gently introduces ideas about immigration, home, and connection, making it a powerful and meaningful read for children. Beautifully illustrated by Danny Snell, The Truck Cat promises to be an engaging and visually captivating experience.
Stay tuned—more details to come soon!
LOST AND FOUND BOOK MARKS
Have you accidentally left a bookmark in a book you returned? We’ve found quite a few bookmarks tucked inside returned books, and they’re waiting to be reunited with their owners!
Pop by and see me—your lost bookmark might just be here, ready to go home!
LUNCH CLUBS
Lunch clubs are very popular, especially when Archie is here on Monday, with visiting times at 12:00 PM and 2:20 PM. This week has had, along with the usual colouring and book reading, colouring and word searches to celebrate Mother’s Day!
