Welcome to another exciting year in the library! The books have missed you and are ready to be borrowed from next weekPrep -3, it is a requirement that you bring a library bag to take your books homeThis can be as simple as an old grocery bag or you can purchase a bag from the uniform shop, a homemade one is always a delight to see and easy for children to recogniseDon’t forget to label your bagsYear 4-6 may also bring a bag, but it is not compulsory. The Hive is also open at lunch for students to join in with Makerspace activities, play games, meet with friends and find a quiet…ish space to read.

The Hive is a big part of the school community and as such we welcome students from Years 4-6 to assist with the daily operation of the libraryHive Helpers are the heart of our library and get to help Miss Justine with shelving, processing, and promoting books (e.g. book displays, create posters, celebration days). They assist fellow students with Makerspace activities and games, maintain the resources and assist with Scholastic Book Club deliveries and promotion. We have 20 positions available over the 4 days the library is openPlease see Miss Justine if you’re interested in applying for a Hive Helper position

This year I welcome Tate, Charlie and Evette as our year 6 Hive Captains.  They have already been busy setting up the library in readiness for the opening next week.  I can’t wait to see the wonderful work they’ll do throughout the year.  You’ll hear more about their role and find a little about them throughout the year. 

Scholastic Book Club

Scholastic Book Club is a wonderful opportunity for you and your children to discover the joy of reading and support our school through your purchases.  For every book you buy, Reward Dollars are earnt to purchase new books and resources for our library. Pamphlets will be sent home with your child this week.  To order, please use the LOOP system.  Do not send any money with your child as we can’t process it. Orders will be processed on Thursday 13 February and usually take between 2-3 weeks for delivery. 

The delivery will be given to your children in their classrooms unless you specify it is a gift order.  Then Miss Justine will contact the parents/guardians to notify them the books have arrived.

Hive Book Club 

Year 5 and 6 students and a significant adult loved one (parent, guardian, Uncle, older sibling, etc) are welcome to join The Hive book club.  This literary book club is an opportunity for students and loved ones to get together and chat about books.  With the support of Miss Justine, we meet once or twice a term to enjoy dinner, refreshments, dessert and the most wonderful conversations about a book we have all read.  Yes, the loved ones must also read the book!  An email will be sent home shortly with more details and watch this space in the newsletter for updates! 

Happy Reading,
Justine
