Congratulations to A9.  They correctly guessed the First Line of a Book Competition. Sam from G1 came a close second.  Well done!  Kate from B2 got 2 out of three correct.  Thank you to those classes that entered.

William Joyce

This short film,  is going around the Library Blogs at the moment.  It is really well done and is about a man whose books are his only friends.  It takes about 15 minutes so you need to allow some time to watch it.  We have books in the Library by William Joyce, 'Bently and Egg', 'A Day With Wilbur Robinson', 'Dinosaur Bob', 'George Shrinks' and 'The Leaf Men'.  There is a really good IPad app for this as well have a look if you get the chance.



 

Name that Book

This week's competition is the first sentence of a book.  You have to name that book.  There are three categories, Senior, Middle and Junior.

Senior

1.  'When the doorbell rings at three in the morning, it's never good news.
2.  'Everybody knows the Story of the Three Little Pigs or at least they think they do.'
3.  'If you went into a school nowadays and said to the children: "What is a gump?" you would probably get some very silly answers.'  

Middle

1.  "Where's Papa Going with that axe?" said Fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast.
2.  'Mr Piggott lived with his two sons, Simon and Patrick, in a nice house with a nice garden and a nice car in the nice garage.'
3.  'These two very old people are the father and mother of Mr Bucket.'

Junior

1.  'The sun did not shine.  It was too wet to play.'
2.  'Camilla Cream loved lima beans.  But she never ate them.'
3.  'Our story starts with a lump of pastry that Horace's Mum gave him, which Horace would usually roll about over the floor and furniture until it was deep grey and fluffy.'

Photo Competition

Congratulations to E4 who correctly guessed the photo competition.  Well done!  Also a special mention to A9 the first class to send me an email but unfortunately got one wrong.  In case you were wondering the answers are:- 
Part of the scarf from the Harry Potter painting, the star from Lilly's boots in the book kite from Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse and part of a chair in the Library.  Look out for next week's puzzle. 

It's been wonderful seeing all your faces again in the Library.  The Library will open again at lunchtime in the third week, as next week I will be training the new Librarians for 2012.
For a bit of fun this week can you look at the photos below.  They have been taken in the Library and they are part of something that is in the Library.  I have zoomed in on the object so the photo is showing a very small part.  Hint:  they are not books!!  Email me with your answers library@easternhutt.school.nz
