Library and Maker Space
Borrowing
Students are reminded that they are able to return and borrow books at both breaks every day as well as during their weekly class time. Please remember to bring library bags – students who don’t have a library bag are welcome to come along to the maker space to make their own library bag.
Dayboro State School has subscribed to Education Queensland’s digital library for students from Year 2 to Year 6 for 2025. This subscription allows students to access eBooks, magazines, audio books, graphic novels, etc in a digital format. To access these digital materials, students need to open the Sora app which is available by installing it on a digital devices or via the Sora webpage if using a computer. Upon opening the app students need to nominate their school, which needs to be entered as Education Queensland. Students will need their MIS Id number to open their account. Classes in years 3, 4, 5, and 6 have explored the app during library sessions over the last two weeks.
If students have a Moreton Bay Region Library membership this membership can also be linked through Sora which increases the number of reading materials available.
Book Fair
Book Fair is on the way!
This year’s Book Fair will open on Friday the 14th of March and run until Wednesday the 19th of March. Students may visit with a parent or caregiver before school on each of these days from 8.15am or after school until 4.00pm. Students will bring home further information next week regarding Book Fair. Families wishing to purchase items from Book Fair may do so using cash or card payment facilities at the Book Fair or via online payments.
To help us prepare our Library space for Book Fair we are hosting a “Turn a Book Character into a Wild West Cowpoke” Competition. Closing date for entries is March 13th at the library. Please remember to include the student’s name and class on each entry. See the flyer below for more information:
Maker Space
The library continues to be a busy space during the breaks. It is wonderful to see so many students creating and collaborating with others as they design and build interesting inventions in addition to playing games and assisting other students. The Sphero and Dash robots have been a very popular lunch break activity choice since the students have returned to school. It’s always fabulous to see older students encouraging new and younger students with robotic devices and other challenges in the maker space.
Have a great week!
