What's on the Library

What an exciting term we are having so far. 2 Kindergarten classes have been visiting each Monday morning to work with Mrs Otten. They are engaging in STEM activities (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) linked to their Science and Technology units. They have been having fun designing and making objects with the new Strawbees in the Makerspace.
The green screen in the ideas lab has also been very busy. Students from across the school have been making videos using the green screen to present their work.
Last week we welcomed Grandfriends into the library for morning tea and to read books. It was a fun morning and great to see so many families reading together.
A highlight of this term so far has been the visit of Russ the Bus to the Preschool. Children's book author Cheryl Orsini read us one of her stories and talked to us about her books.

Dr Seuss in the Inspire Centre

The Inspire centre has a new display highlighting books by Dr. Seuss. Students from 4CMA and 4AAJ created some art depicting The Lorax. Students from across the school have enjoyed looking at the display which includes some Truffula trees. Students can borrow any of the books on display.
