And the winner is ...

Well, let me first tell you that 113 people voted online and almost all of the children at Woodlands Park School voted (our roll is around 350). Different trailers were popular with the different syndicates with a few firm favourites across the school and community. The junior syndicate favoured Nancy Drew, Captain Underpants and Paddington Bear equally. The school votes were more spread out than the internet votes with each and every trailer getting a big pile of votes. 

A massive congratulations go to each and every child for their creative book trailers. Give yourselves a big pat on the back. And now, here it is; the winning:

Done & Dusted

The library stocktake is ALMOST done and (shelves) dusted! Thank-you so much to Joanne, Alison, Louise, Angela and Shelley for giving up so much of your time and energy. It was super to get those 793.73 (Dewey decimal) books back into order :) You guys were amazing! We have scanned over 4000 books. 

Now I just need to find a few books that we missed (tomorrow's job) and then we will successfully have got that job completed. Thanks, Selena - you have such endurance!

Once stocktake is well and truly out of the way we will look towards getting a summer reading programme on offer. 

It's time to start voting for your favourite book trailer!
