Primary Library
Each week every class has a library lesson where they work on oral language and comprehension skills; it is also a time for them to change their library books. Books can be changed at any time during the week as the library is open before school, lunchtime and after school. Each class also has a research lesson where they develop inquiry skills, and learn to use resources, which are authentic and have authority.
Students are asked to provide a waterproof library bag to protect books from accidental spillage in their school bags. Library bags are available for purchase from the library in house colours for $7 each, or from the uniform shop.
If you want another rewarding experience…..why not come in and help shelve books or cover books, or a myriad of other exciting library tasks. This is a great way to get to know your friendly library staff while helping our school.
