Book review by Emily Peattie

Title:Anyone but me.

Author:Nancy Krulik.

Illustrator:John and Wendy.

This is a story about a girl called Katie Carew who wishes to be anyone but herself, but then she finds out that sometimes wishing is not the best way to fix things. There are more books for you to read if you are interested.

Genre: Fiction Action/Adventure.

My recommendation: Amazing you must read this book!

I would recommend this book to: 7-11 year olds.

Book review by Emma Kirkwood

Title: The High Hills

Author and illustrator: Jill Barklem

This is a book about two mice who set off on a adventure into The High Hills. Then they get lost.

It is an action/adventure, fiction book and would appeal to 8-10 years old, but little kids will love the illustrations.

My recommendation is: Amazing! You must read this book!!

Rating: 5/5 (my opinion)

Hanan Kindergarten Visiting readers

This morning Joshua Glass and Braden Anderson visited the children at Hanan Kindergarten and read to them. Braden read a personal favourite called I'm Me and Joshua read two of Paul Jennings big books about Rascal the dragon. The boys read very well and the children listened attentively and interacted with the stories. It was a super visit and we've been invited back again next term.

New books for parents

Our parents library has expanded with the addition of many new books. We have created a space in the Reference shelves of the library for the books to be kept so they are easily browsed. Please feel free to visit the library between 9.00am and 2.45pm to look at the books. Parents wishing to borrow books will be assisted by library staff.
Search the library catalogue online to view titles by going to the school website and selecting Library Search from the left-hand menu. Use Advanced Search and in the Location field type Parents Library.

Scholastic Book Fair

Our book fair was a great success thanks to everyone who contributed by purchasing books, posters and other items. Many thanks to the Home and School Committee for helping with sales and setup. We sold just over $2000 worth of product and with 30% sales commission the librarians have selected 31 new books for the library and a set of Lexile quizzes for some of the Zac Power books. Of course it would not have been the same without the guest appearance of a certain big red dog. By the way - who was Clifford?
