LIBRARY
THANKYOU
Thankyou to the Yr6 Library Leaders for their creative talents bringing Christmas joy to our beautiful library and for all they have contributed this year. All the best for high school.
Don't forget to keep exercising your secret power.
Many thanks also to all the wonderful parent helpers this year. The coverers, the put away the bookers, the book fairers, the book clubbers all help to make the wheels of the library system turn smoothly to help deliver to our students a space which is always accessible and organised for them. looking forward to chatting with you early next year for a repeat performance. Also on the hunt for new helpers everyone is welcome.
Happy Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Keep reading everyone and avoid the summer (holidays) brain slump, yep it's a thing.
