Back To School 2018

Image from HERE

Welcome back to school for 2018. 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 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 2018.

Next week 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.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays

End of Year 2017 - Update

(Updated every day or so until 19 December 2017)

Your last remaining overdue books are coming back to the library a few per day. Congratulations to Room 7 & Room 10 who today became the first classes with all student library books returned.
Well done!

The library stocktake is now almost complete. We again have a number of books that are missing - they are not in the library and they are not on issue. We'd love to have these books back again, so if you find any hiding behind shelves or under the furniture, at school or at home, please drop them back to the library before the holidays.

Getting Ready for End of Year 2017

The Christmas School Holidays are not far away now, but before they arrive there are some important tasks to get done. In the library we are preparing for our annual end of year stocktake!

All library books are due back before this Friday, 8th December. You can help by returning all your library books to the library "As Soon As Possible" and before the end of this week please.

Will your class will be first to return all their library books this year?

If you have any other school books such as journals, junior reading books and class books lying around at home then now is a good time to return these to school too.
