LIBRARY

THANKYOU and HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Thank you to everyone including the fabulous Library Leaders in Year 6 and in Year 2 for their efforts this term. The library functions well because we all help and take ownership of our wonderful space.

Happy holidays to all.  I really think that after the busyness of Term 3 we have earned our holidays.  I hope everyone has a chance to find time each and every day to read and relax for yourself individually and as a family. Remember if you travel  be sure to take a pic outside , or better still inside, a library.

READING IS MY SECRET POWER

Book Week may be over but exercising  our secret power is a life-long activity. 

Let's keep it going everyone.

Some Book Fair re-orders have arrived, others are on their way.

Thankyou for your patience.

BOOK WEEK DISCO 

YES IT'S HERE AND HAPPENING.

Many thankyous to the staff who are, probably as you are reading this, having a great time at the discos.
