Welcome to Term 2!

The Library always has a lot going on and Term 2 is no exception. Here are some of the exciting things we have planned:

• K-2 classrooms receive their Premier’s Reading Challenge (PRC) picture books to enjoy as a class and complete the Challenge
• Year 3-6 have a dedicated Library lesson on how to enter their PRC books
• The Library orders this year’s CBCA Shortlist books to get them ready for Book Week in Term 3
• We participate in National Simultaneous Storytime on Wednesday, 21 May

LIBRARY WARRIORS

An Interview With…Dominic (Year 5)

Note from Mrs Murray: Dom has been a Library Warrior since it started in 2022 and has never missed a Friday. He collects books in the

morning before school and gives up his Lunch 2 to put books away. Dom has learnt every section but specialises in Fiction and Fiction Series which house some of his favourite books. He is definitely one of my ‘Library Legends’ and is an integral member of the team.

What section are you responsible for?

Fiction and Fiction Series

 

What is your favourite book?

 The Minecraft books – my favourite is ‘Minecraft: The Survivor’s Book Of Secrets’.

 

What do you love about being a Library Warrior?

I love helping out and finding books that are lost and making new friends.

 

What is your favourite Library task?

My favourite Library task is helping out.

Happy reading everyone!
