Suggested Web Links
This website on the online portal to “The Little Bookroom”. The store opened its doors on Friday 13 October, 1960. It focuses on offering Australians (Melbournian) a bookshop that is devoted solely to children's literature and books. These days it offers so much more! Currently, they run sessions with Australian authors on Saturday afternoons.
Please feel free to contact me if you want more information. Next newsletter I hope to add a few more links that can support your child's (as well as your own) love of reading, as well as a web page and other book related activities as boredom busters for the holidays.
MAG’s Reading Challenge
Moama Anglican Grammar’s Reading Challenge has been designed to encourage students to select books they may not usually read and use different characteristics of books to make their choice.
Students can collect the checklists from the Library staff or download the attached PDF.
The category students need to find reading materials from until the next newsletter is:
- An e-book
As students read books from five or ten different categories, encourage them to come in to see one of the Library Staff to have it marked off.
2020 NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge
