It has been a wonderful start to the year and I am very pleased that so many people have been remembering their library bags. We are still catching up with covering from the end of last year so here are some more books that are available for borrowing. If you miss your regular library day, the library is open at lunch time on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I hope to see you in the library soon.
I hope you all had a wonderful summer holiday and are looking forward to a fantastic new year at school. I,ve been covering lots of new books ready to borrow this term and hope that you remember your library bags. I've made a list of recently covered books with lots of links for students and teachers. Some links have games, others have information and some have teacher's notes and activities.

I hope you had a wonderful holiday and have remembered your library bag this week. I'll be adding to this blog regularly with updates of what is happening in the library, new books that are available and a few competitions as well. During the holidays I was able to cover quite a few new books so our first competition will be for the first person who replies to this post with the title of one of the new books. The books are on display so you can check them out at lunch. The prize will be one of the Ipod rubbers from the last book fair. I'll have a few runner up prizes as well. Keep checking the blog for winners and new competitions. |
