Wrapping up Term 2

Thank-you to all the library monitors who have worked tirelessly returning and shelving books, tidying and dusting shelves and more, all with such friendly smiles and helpful approaches! We could not do it without you.

We are wrapping up a busy term in the library. We had a visit from local Titirangi children's author Janet Martin and The Jampots (see the previous post). We have celebrated the New Zealand Post Children's Book awards with themed weeks, including The Cat's Pyjamas, Stomp! and the New Zealand Hall of Fame. Thanks for nominating spectacular people for your Woodlands Park Hall of Fame. We will announce the winners next term.

Last week we read snippets from the Flytrap Snaps (see the book review posted earlier) and children were given carte blanche to create "genetically modified monsters", flies, Venus flytraps gone wrong and the like, using recyclable materials and to colour in pictures of the humorous flytrap from the story.  

They had a monstrous time setting up the "monster photo shoot". All in all, it was good lunch time fun.

Next term the library will become the Red Room, a new entrant class. Please see the newsletter dated 26th June 2012 for more details on this.

So, to wrap up the term, we need to collect all the library books ...

Thanks very much and we look forward to more library fun down the line.
