Welcome Back to Term 3

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday break.  The Library Dragon had a lovely time on her holiday. 
Unfortunately the Library will be closed this term while the re-building work is going on.
This term will be exciting with the 2012 Olympics in London.  See the clip below.  We have some wonderful books in the Library by Michael Morpurgo who wrote this story about the Mascots for the London Olympics.  This is just Part One of the story.

And one for the Year 2's you should know this one!!

Welcome back to a new Term.  The first week has been really busy.  Hope you were all doing plenty of reading over the holidays!
In the last week of the first term the Juniors celebrated Grandparents Day and one class  (B2) brought their Grandparents into the Library to read to them.  It was wonderful to see so many Grandparents in the Library.

This YouTube clip is from a bookstore in Toronto called Type.  The owners decided to shelve all their books in colours and animated the process. It took them weeks to complete!



They had lots of volunteers to help with the shelving and re-shelving.  It must have been a lot of work but the video is great to watch.

Meet the Library Dragon who lives in the Library Office with me.  The book is one of my favourite picture books and the name of my blog.  I have been introducing her to some of the classes over the last week.  Look out for her when you come in.

I had a lovely Library Time with B3 on Tuesday.  As the Library blog is called 'The Library Dragon' I introduced my Library Dragon puppet to the class.  They were pleased to see her and Mrs Domican is going to read the book to them.  It's one of my favourite picture books, of course!!!
