LRC UPDATE TERM 4
Book Club - Issue #7
All households should have received the latest Book Club magazine last week. There are some new QR codes used throughout the brochure that can help give your children more insight into the book before they might choose to purchase it! These Book Club orders need to be completed by Monday 23rd October. The perfect opportunity to start your Christmas shopping while supporting our School Library at the same time!
Do you have a Book Worm living in your home?
Here is a link to a fantastic online Book Club community that might be a great chance to extend your own little Book Worms in the comfort of home!
Premier’s Reading Challenge - Assembly presentation
We would like to congratulate all the students who participated in this year’s Challenge and present them with a certificate at next week’s Assembly. There will be some additional prizes awarded to some of the lucky winners too! All parents are welcome to attend.
Library Monitors - Year 5 students only!
We will be seeking responsible, mature and great leaders in literature to fulfil the role of ‘Library Monitor’ this term as they transition towards Year 6, our current Monitors will commence training these students. A role description will come to classrooms this week! We encourage all Year 5 students to consider this great opportunity within our school.
Gratitude
As always, I am grateful for the support of this school community and of our School Library. The role of the Librarian is fast becoming a dying breed and I encourage you to read the following article to feel a sense of pride in all that you have done to help maintain our library at St Joseph’s Primary School.
