We have had a terrific time in the Junior School Library Resource Centre during Term 2. National Simultaneous Storytime on 26 May was a resounding success with approximately 200 students, many with their ears and noses ‘on’, enjoying Bruce Whatley’s humorous book Little White Dogs Can’t Jump.
We launched the MS Readathon with a surge of registrations for this year’s event. Currently we have 45 students registered as participants and only need two more to qualify for a special visit from the National Zoo as a reward. We congratulate all those children who have already registered and are keenly reading and encourage others to take up the challenge. The Readathon runs over the months of June, July and August and more information is available either from the Library or at www.msreadathon.org.au.
Our Library Monitors this term have been both enthusiastic and responsible and have genuinely demonstrated initiative. Congratulations to Imogen Spouse, Anneliese Westerberg, Genny Bowes, Kristin Chait and Daniella Vido on their dedicated service.
Coming up in Term 3
Book Week 2010 – Across the Story Bridge 22-27 August (Week 6)
Many students will have already mentioned our special photographic competition for Book Week. During the holidays we encourage students to have their photo taken on a bridge - either locally or from some distant location to form part of our special exhibit. Prizes will be awarded in different categories, including one for staff. Details of the required format will be provided during the first week of next term. Contact your classroom teacher or the Library staff for more information.
Also in our Term 3 calendar, are our annual Pyjamarama (Friday 20 August) and Jacaranda Book Fair (29 August – 3 September, Week 7)
