Library and Maker Space
Makerspace
Students have been very busy in the maker space creating display items to decorate the Library space in preparation for Book Week.
Have a look at the amazing clay wombats that were created by students in the last week. If you were a wombat, what would you dream of becoming???
Book Week
Book Week is just 2 weeks away!
Our annual Book Week character costume parade will be held on the school oval on August 24th from 9:00 a.m. We cannot wait to see all of the wonderful costumes! Remember that the maker space is available on Fridays at first break for students to work on costumes if they wish.
During Book Week each year the Children’s Book Council of Australia award prizes to Australian authors in 6 different categories. This year’s shortlisted books for the Eve Pownall Award for children’s non-fiction books are shown below.
Our pick from this category is “The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Peculiar Pairs in Nature” by Sami Bayly. Her meticulous attention to detail when illustrating the animals that accompany the information presented in her book is absolutely amazing.
Remember to get your payments in as soon as you can to join us for our Meerkat Productions presentations of “Stellarphant” for students in Prep – Year 3 and “The Detective’s Guide to Ocean Travel” for students in Year 4 – Year 6.
Premier’s Reading Challenge
The Premier’s Reading Challenge for 2022 is still running. To complete the challenge students in Prep – Year 4 need to read 20 books, and students in Year 5 and Year 6 need to read 15 books. Reading record sheets are available from class teachers and from the Library.
Have a great week!
