Library on wheels

Great news to all those who have been having a quiet grizzle about the library being closed once again.   We have had a brilliant brainwave!  One that turns our library into a portable library. That’s right – a library on wheels, trolley wheels to be exact.  

From this week on classes will have the library brought to them. (Just a somewhat smaller version of the real thing.)   They will be able to borrow books from the comfort of their class without having to travel out in the rain!  Books can be returned to the big red box in the office anytime children like, but most definitely before or on the morning of their next day of borrowing.  Find out from your child what day their borrowing on wheels day is over the next week or so.

Scholastic Book Fair

You are invited to wander down to the annual Scholastic Book Fair in the school hall. It runs concurrently with the parent interviews for your convenience. Last year we earned a commission of $1000 of new books for the school library, which were handpicked by school children for the library, thanks to the support of whanau and community.

Dates & times:

1st August: 8.30 - 9.30 am. and 3.15 - 5.50 pm.

2nd August: 8.30 - 9.30 am. and 2.15 - 5.50 pm.

Parent helpers are needed to make this event a success. Please contact Kate in the office to put your name down. This event can't run without your help, which is greatly appreciated.

Congratulations! 500 points!

Congratulations to the girls in these pics who both reached 500 points at the end of Term two! Library monitors got 15 points for helping out at lunchtime and arriving on time, or ten if they helped out but were late. When monitors reached 150 points they received a prize (usually a book or a small toy) and at 300 they got a second prize. At 500 points they were promised a special mention on the blog! Here is a pick of two of our outstanding monitors who reached the big five double zero! Well done girls!
