It's October, Here Is The News!

It is great to see everyone enjoying the new books that we have in our library.  Have you discovered a favourite author yet?  There are still some more new books to be added to the shelves; lots more non-fiction books to help with your topic work.

The Library Needs You!!!

The library helpers from Key Stage 2 are doing a great job trying to keep your library tidy, thank you all, but they can't do this all by themselves.  They need YOU to help them too.  How?

When you bring a book back to the library DON'T just: 

-leave it by the computer 

- leave it on a table

- chuck it on the floor (it has been done!!)

- put it back on any old shelf (this has been done too!!)  

PLEASE....PUT IT BACK ON THE SHELF WHERE IT BELONGS!

We are so lucky to have all these books, we must treat them kindly.

This means you too!  Thanks.

Author Visit

It was was great to have Tamsin from Kenilworth Books in school last week.  

She told us all about Chris Priestley who will be visiting our school 

on Wednesday 10th October.

How lucky are we to have a popular children's author visiting us.  

We have some of his books in the library too.  You can find out what he has written here:

All about Chris Priestley

Be prepared to be spooked, just right for October!

Keep Reading,

2.  Scan your reader number from the blue file
3. Choose the book title from your 'long' list of borrowed books that you wish to review

Still not sure 'how to',  then catch Mrs Henshaw in The Nest or in Maple Class every morning.
