Term Three News

Welcome
Welcome to the Cromer School Library Blog. This is where you will find information about the programs that we have been running in the library and the activities that the students have been involved in.

Library Lessons In Term 3
Term three has been spent studying the Children’s Book Council shortlisted books for 2009 and enjoying the book week theme Book Safari. A Smart notebook was created which provided links to Web Sites through which we could get to know more about the authors and illustrators of the shortlisted books. We also were able to examine YouTube clips related to issues in the books. The students voted for their favourites using an on-line visual ranking tool. Using this tool they were able to comment on the books and view the rankings and comments of other classes. We then waited with interest to see how our rankings compared with the decisions of the Children’s Book Council.
Our Wonderful New Bookstand
Thanks to the efforts of Jen Webster and the P and C, we have a wonderful new bookstand . At the moment it is showcasing many of the junior chapter books that we have in the library. The students have expressed great excitement at the ease with which they can find titles of interest.
Returning Books To The Library
We are now in the process of calling all borrowed items back into the library so that we can start the new term with full shelves. Have a great holiday!
