ANZAC day
As ANZAC day falls during our 2 week break, we have been reading a special book in library sessions this week. "My Grandad marches on ANZAC day." by Catriona Hoy. Students in years 4-6 have been making text-to-world connections and writing these on the leaves of poppies. These will be on display in the library until early term 2. We also have a beautiful ANZAC day display which highlights some of the great books we have in the library.

Author of the month
Our April author of the month is Ursula Dubosarsky. She is an Australian author who lives in Sydney.
We have many of her books in the Inspire centre.
Her newest book 'Brindabella' will soon be available for borrowing. This is a story about a boy called Pender and a kangaroo called Brindabella, about how they became friends, and all the things that happened to them because of it.
Pender and his father live in an old house made of honey-coloured stone in the bush by the river, with only the company of his father's paintings and the loyal dog, Billy-Bob. Then, on one winter morning, a gunshot amongst the trees changes everything.
When Pender rescues Brindabella from the pouch of her murdered mother, an unusual friendship blossoms between the lonely boy and the orphaned joey. But Brindabella is no ordinary kangaroo. And though Pender has saved her life, the untameable wildness of the bush--and freedom--call to her...
