                  Back To School 2019


                  Welcome back to school for 2019. I hope you had a great time over the holidays and that you've been able to enjoy some fun family time and activities. With luck you had a good book or two to read when the weather was too hot to do much else. Let me know if you found something that would be a great addition to our library - just in case we haven't already got it!

                  This week in the library I've updated the classroom lists and added new students to the library database so that you're all in your correct classroom for 2019.

                  Tomorrow things should be back to normal, with new books on display and the library will be open for classroom visits and during most lunchtimes.

                  See you soon.
