Thank you
Thank you to everyone who supports our school by purchasing books from Scholastic Book Club. Whenever a book is purchased through Scholastic our school is rewarded with points. These points are used to purchase books and other items for our Library. Recently we used our points for this new double sided, moveable bookstand. We look forward to filling it up with all of our favourite stories.
This term our Stage 3 students will write their own picture book. To assist with the planning process, Stage 1 students were invited to join our Stage 3 students during their Library lessons this week where they were interviewed and spent time reading picture books together.
