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

Farewell and Thank you Year 5

What a fabulous way to spend our last day together in Year 5. There were fun activities at Flying Fox Park after which we returned to school for lots of tasty treats for lunch. Thank you, parents, for providing this delicious spread. Thank you, also, to those parents who came in to help set up the table and clear away afterwards.

Thank you, Year 5, for being such an enthusiastic and vibrant year group. We have really enjoyed teaching you and it has been very rewarding to see you grow as learners and define yourselves as individuals throughout the year. Thank you very much for the beautiful flowers and the generous gift you gave to us today. We were very touched by your kindness and by the lovely messages written by yourselves and your parents in the card.

Thank you, parents, for being so supportive of Year 5 in all areas of school life. Whilst some areas of your support are visible, we are also most appreciative of your support in areas which may seem less visible, but which have greatly assisted us in strengthening our students in all of the five R's.
We wish you all a very happy Christmas.

Hilary & Sophie
