COHR Library - The BOOK FAIR was a success!

LIBRARY NEWS

Student Borrowing - All new books from our successful Book Fair have been catalogued and are available for loan. Students have been allowed to borrow extra books for the holidays as it's a great time to snuggle up with a good book. We also receive a subscription of quality Australian literature every month and these books are shared with students and available on our 'new books' shelf for all to peruse.

This week in Library lessons, we have once again caught up with the resident peregrine falcons that live in a high rise building in Melbourne. Yr 1 - 6 classes read the story - "Peregrines in the City" by Andrew Kelly & Sue Lawson. This is a newly published book that tells the story of our own peregrine falcons. In reading and discussions we discovered some new facts and vocabularly about peregrine falcons. You may like to ask your child the following..?

A male peregrine falcon is called a ..........?

A female peregrine falcon is called a....?

A group of eggs is called a .........?

This year, it is a different female and together with the male there are 4 eggs that have been laid and are now being incubated by both parents. It is expected that the end of September or very early October the eggs will hatch. When we are back at school we will be able to follow the progress of the newly hatched eyases!
