Welcome to 2013!!

Welcome back to the library for another year!  There will be lots of exciting things happening this year, and lots of great books for you to read also, starting with this week's 'New Books'...

All of the Wimpy Kid fans out there will be delighted to see the latest book in the series... 'The Third Wheel'.  Greg's life gets even more confusing with the Valentines Day dance at school!

Fly Guy is back with a new episode, involving food....

and Ivy and Bean are having more adventures, this time featuring ancient animals.

We have lots of great upcoming series and new fiction books this year.  There really is something for everyone in our library - it's great to see you all back!!

Merry Christmas!

The last week of school has arrived... already!  From the Library, I wish you a happy and fun Christmas, and hope you have a great time in the holidays.  I look forward to seeing you next year, when you can tell me all about the favourite book you read over the summer break. 

Merry Christmas everyone!

End of year in the Library

This week we have been concentrating on returning books so that we can start stocktaking on Monday.  Thank you for bringing your books in....and those of you who still have them at home, please, please try and remember to put them in your bags!!

For those classes that may have missed our book videos this week, and those of you who would just like to see them again, here they are... enjoy!

The Fantastic Flying Books of Morris Lessmore

The Girl who Hated Books

Time to return your books...

Once a year, we do a stock-take in the library, to confirm the numbers and condition of our books.  We need everyone to return their books by this Friday 30 November...and the first class to get all their books back (including their teacher!) gets a prize.  Pukeko and Ruru rooms have often been first and second - I wonder who will win this year?

Eclipse!

This week, we were lucky enough to see a partial solar eclipse.  It was great to have some solar viewers, and the image of the sun mostly covered by the moon was amazing.  Here is a video with more information on eclipses, and how they happen.
