FROM THE HIVE

The Hive has been busy with students borrowing, reading, creating, and constructing. Displays are up and new books are available to borrow!
We currently have more than 100 overdue books, and it is only week 6!  Please remember to return your books so other students can read them.  
Keep up the magnificent work Prep H and D, 1J, 4S, 4SL and 5M for returning your books on time!

Students visiting the library have been learning about how to take care of our books at home, the various parts of a book, what is a call number and how to use the library catalogue. These important skills will help them take care of our collection and provide them with confidence to search for their books on the shelves.

Readers Cup is the flagship event of the Children’s Book Council of Australia – Queensland Branch. 
It is a state-wide event where teams of students read sets of books and then compete with other teams in their region to answer quiz questions. 
Winners from each regional competition then compete in the State Final. 

I am excited to select a team for Milton State School to represent at this year’s competiton.  Watch this space for more information.

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.
