Term 2

Welcome back from your Easter break. The Inspire centre offices had new carpet laid over the break to match the new carpet in the rest of the library. Many classes have visited over the past couple of days to borrow books for themselves and their classrooms. We have some exciting events happening this term. In May we will be having our Scholastic Book fair which has a pirate theme.Look out for more information in the coming weeks.

At the end of May will be the Simultaneous storytime event. The book for this year is "The cow tripped over the moon"

May is Scholastic National Family Reading Month. The focus this year is on families reading aloud together. Research shows that regular reading aloud with family members is a powerful predictor that children will become frequent readers, and that kids love it.

New books

We have some new books in the Inspire centre ready for borrowing at the beginning of term 2. These are pictured below. We also have a newspaper created by one of the classes.


In term 2 we will be hosting our Book fair. The theme is: Bookaneer - where books are the treasure!
We will have one week for students to preview the books and write a wish list. The second week will be for purchasing items from the book fair. The dates of the fair will be advertised early in term 2.

In the first week back at school for term 2 we will be commemorating ANZAC day. The Maritime museum display will remain in the community room until the end of week 2 so there will be more opportunities for you to visit.
Enjoy the Easter break and we will see you in term 2.
