Hanan Kindy Visit






On Wednesday 17 November, Kate Haley, Olivia Black and Hannah Leonard accompanied Mrs Ross to Hanan Kindergarten to read to the four year olds. Kate and Olivia did a great job reading and Hannah was the official photographer. After reading their books aloud to the group of very good listeners, the girls were given a most important job presenting each child with two Duffy Books. The three girls then helped the children stick in their book labels and spent time with them at various fun activities. Everyone enjoyed the visit which is a neat way to ease the transition to school for the kindy kids and an opportunity for our students to share their love of reading and books.

Lexile Reading Star


Yi Ran Ong is a quintuple word millionaire. She has read over five million words by reading 128 books and passing the quizzes on them to gain 885 points in Lexile reading. This is a fantastic achievement and as Yi Ran still has another year at Bluestone we can only wonder at what her final count will be. A very keen reader, Yi Ran has also just gained her Silver Librarian's Award. Yi Ran loves books by Kate Constable, Kate Forsyth, Malinda Lo and has recently discovered Tamora Pierce. Yi Ran is really great at adding book suggestions for the library to buy and displaying the books she has enjoyed for others to see. Well done Yi Ran.
