Library Bags
Just a reminder that all students must have a library bag if they wish to borrow a book.
Craft Materials needed
I am after any cardboard cylinders such as gladwrap rolls and toilet rolls, for an activity with the students. If you have any please have your children drop them to me at the library. Thanks!
