Keeping up the reading habit - Local Library and Kids News Book Club

Dear Families

Keeping up the reading habit in the holidays is to be encouraged, and when you need to change your reading material it is time to visit local library.

There are many activities available over the holiday period - check out the Kids Corner library - kids-corner  as well as the school holiday activities: library - whats-on -school-holiday-activities   

Kids News is also offering a Book Club. 

They have kick-started the club with five great titles for students.

1. His Name was Walter by Emily Rodda

2. Ice Wolves by Amie Kaufman

3. Barney and the Secret of the French Spies by Jackie French

4. Funny Kid Prank Wars by Matt Stanton,

5. The Girl, and the Dog and the Writer in Rome by Katrina Nannestad.

Each month They’ll add a new book to the club, allowing all children to read the first three chapters FREE. 

For those students who join the book club and become a member, they can purchase the book at a special discount price when we email a unique discount code at the end of each month.

·       Members will also have additional chances to enter competitions, read author interviews and other cool stuff.

·       Membership is FREE but requires parental consent (there is a link to the parental consent form on each book listing).

Merry Christmas and happy reading

What a Week 6

Firstly, I just want to thank all of you for partnering with me this year in the teaching of your children.  It has been my privilege and delight to teach all of them.  I also, wanted to specifically thank you for the kind gifts that I received from all of you last night.  I am so grateful and a bit overwhelmed by your generosity - thank you.

This week has been a busy one - we went to iFly, have been working on a Picture Book for our Kindy Buddies, had the start of our novel presentations, had our Year 6 Celebration Dinner and today a farewell assembly for Mrs Meares and a trip to the beach to surf.  Phew!

Here are some photos from Assembly today and from our time at the beach.  Please forgive me that I do not have any photos of last night - I was a little preoccupied.  If you have some lovely photos that you are happy for me to post - feel free to send them via email and I would be happy to put them up for the class to enjoy.

Have a lovely weekend.
