Great site for reading activities

Meet Roy the zebra and have fun with reading, phonics, and many online games.

This will also be added to the homework page. Already becoming very popular. Give it a go.

So true

Quote heard from Jessica today when told to go back to class after a library visit.

"I hate having to stop reading""

Very true Jessica!!

Wow! We loved him. He was so funny and so entertaining.

He told us stories and read some of his books.

We have lots of his books in the library and if you want to know more you can go to his website.

This is Kyle signing his winning book Old Hu-hu for Carmel.

Book week competition winners will be announced at assembly on Friday so if you entered any listen out for your name.

Bob Docherty

We were lucky to have Bob Docherty visit us as part of book week. He was brilliant. Bob enthralled us with his reviews. There were queues next day to get out the books he spoke about.

Most common words today are - "Have you got that book Bob talked about, you know the one about...."

Wonderful. Thanks Bob

You can read some of Bob's other book reviews on his blog.

Book week

18 August 2010

Yes. It's finally here and the place is buzzing.

We have heaps of competitions; guess the teacher reading the book, book trailers, design a camp, 50 word txt stories, and heaps more.

The book sale is going well and lunch time crowds are crazy. Thanks to everyone who has bought books. This is our library fundraiser and it all goes to new books for our new library.

I believe in unicorns

by Michael Morpurgo

I really liked this book. It is so good how they were so determined to save the books. It was so good I'm reading it again and I only finished it yesterday.
