Being away from NZ always makes me appreciate what a wonderful (and safe) country we are blessed to live in. I was amazed by several things: the number of police and army personnel on patrol everywhere.; how quickly things change as you cross the border into another country; the number of people begging; the size of the apartment blocks; how fast the trains can go!
Today the Seniors had a visit from local author JULIETTE MACIVER, who wrote the Marmaduke Duck books (amongst others.) There are pictures of the visit at the end of this blog.
Here are some upcoming events:
BOOK CLUB ISSUE 7 is open and closes on 1 November
LIBRARY CLOSES FOR YEAR on THURSDAY 30 NOVEMBER. All books need to be returned by this date. There will be the usual ICE BLOCK challenge...first class to have all their books back will win ice blocks.
BOOK PARADE
This term we will be holding our annual Book Character Parade on 6 DECEMBER. This year the theme is "Story Hats". Students are asked to make or renovate a hat that tells a story. For example, It could be a hat worn by a book character, or it could have book characters on the hat...you are only limited by your imagination!
Students are welcome to wear a full costume but Judging will be done on what is on top of their head!
LIBRARIANS' and ROAD PATROLLERS' TRIP AND PARTY will be held on 7 DECEMBER. More information to follow. (This is for Lunch Librarians/Resource Room Monitors only.)
