IN THE LIBRARY

Last week during our library lessons, we celebrated Mother's Day by reading stories about families, kindness and the important role mothers and carers play in our lives. Students also enjoyed sharing what makes their mums or special caregivers unique and how they can show their gratitude to them.

During lessons this week we will be observing International Day of Families.  International Day of Families is celebrated every year on 15 May and it encourages people around the world to value family relationships and strengthen communities through kindness, understanding and support.

FUNKY FRUIT/VEGETABLE 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/vegetable reward for the week. 

Week 3 winner was Maker (Year 4) who won the Capper Family "Emerald, Ruby and Golden".

BOOK CLUB

Scholastic Book Club for Term 2 has now closed.  

PREMIER'S READING CHALLENGE  

The reading challenge deadline is Friday 18 September 2026. There are detailed instructions below about how to log books your children have read. If you are unable to access an appropriate device or internet connection at home for recording your child's reading, please just record the titles and authors on paper and they can bring them to me to record them.  For more information about the Student Experience Site you can watch the video available here. 

Adding Books 

Step 1: Follow this link to the Student Experience Site

Step 2: Log in using the button in the top right corner with the details on your child's PRC login card.

Step 3: To record books already read (you can include books that have been read earlier this year), click on the avatar in the top right corner, then click on "My Reading Log". NB: Books should only be added when they have been read from cover to cover!

Step 4: Start typing the name of the book read into the "Add a PRC Book" search, select the title from the drop-down menu and click "Add".

Step 5: If the book does not come-up in this search, it is not a PRC list book for 2026 and needs to be added as a personal choice book. Type the title and author into the fields and click "Add".
