Book Fair

This is going to be a really short term and so many exciting things are happening!
We had our Galaxy of books fair last week. It kicked of with great excitement when children could come and have a preview of the books that was going to be on sale in our school library. Each child completed a “My wish list” which was a take - home form to show parents and families the books that they were interested in. Books were on sale from Wednesday to Saturday and it was a real success. A very big THANK YOU to all the children, parents and families for their wonderful support. Jeronimo Stilton, our mouse friend and one of our favourite books characters was amongst our guests at our book fair.
Below are a few snips of our book fair.

Reading

Author/illustrator - Sandra Morris

On 15 August as part of SuperClubsPLUS Tigest R18, Marvin R18, Lita R17 and Lester R17 visited the National Library of New Zealand to meet with author/illustrator Sandra Morris.  Her book called “Sensational Survivors” was runner up for the New Zealand Post Awards and is now available in our school library.  Sandra was interviewed in the HOT SEAT online.  It was a very exciting experience and this is what Tigest had to say about her experience.

Sandra Morris is a nice and kind lady.  When I got chosen to be part of the interview, I was really happy.  We did lots of work and I had to train Shahieda as well.  When the day arrived I felt really confident.  We arrived at the National Library and did not know where or who Sandra Morris was.  It was an awesome experience.

Book review

Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Jeff Kenney
(The last straw)

Once there was a man named Frank Heffley.  
Frank Heffley actually thinks he can get his son, Greg
to toughen up and get him to organise sports and 
other manly things.

Greg is able to side step his father’s effort to change him,
but when his dad threatens to send him to military
 academy he realizeshe has to shape up ...or get shipped.

I enjoyed reading  this book because it is really cool and in fact very funny

and wil make  you laugh too.

Book review

Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Jeff Kenney

My  favourite part is when Greg Heffley chases the kids

with a stick that has worms on it.

He thinks that being a kid really stinks and nobody knows

better than Greg Heffley, who finds himself stuck in high

school,  where under sized weaklings share the hallways
with kids who are taller, meaner and already shaving.

When Gregg breaks his friendship with Rowley, he gets jealous.

Just when Greg thinks his back-up friend is with him, his whole plan

get’s destroyed.

I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend to read it because of the setting

at school and home and also It has some really funny parts in it that makes you laugh.

Book covers designed by Room 11

A few children in Room 11 designed book covers for a book called "When Barney went to the vet" by the author Brenda Parkes.

We had a few very creative illustrations.

Graphic Novels

Our graphic novels are very popular and just seem to fly off the shelves.  Sometimes our shelves are even empty and guess what?  We have just added a few new titles to our collection, so come and have a look.






Upstart Magazines

Come and check out the latest issue of the Upstart magazine  in our library.

Changes in our Library

Come and have a look and see if you can spot the changes in our library.
Some of our books have moved house and have now been relocated in a new area in the library. Also we have brand new bean bags and it looks pretty AWESOME, a cool new book stand and two new search engins.
