We hope that you all have an enjoyable break and did lots of reading! 

We have a few updates to the Library for this term: 

PREMIER'S READING CHALLENGE 

Thank you to all of the parents that have been busy updating their child's reading records on the NSW PRC website. 

We now have  161 students registered for the challenge and 49 have already finished. 

Please remember that it is NOT a competition and there is still plenty of time to register and complete it. The end date has now been extended and now does not close until 26 September (Week 10, term 3). ALL students that complete the challenge will receive a certificate towards the end of term 4. 

We would like to acknowledge the students from each year who completed the challenge during the past 2 weeks: 

K - Joshua A

1 - Lara B, Naomi C, Katherine J, Zoe T

2 - Phoebe F

4 - Heidi B

5 - Digby B

If you have any questions, you can contact me at: natalina.ireland@cg.catholic.edu.au

UPCOMING EVENTS: 

Lamont Book Fair 

Weeks 9 & 10 - final dates will be confirmed closer to the time 

In previous years our Book Fair has been organised through Scholastic, which also provides the Book Club. However, this year we are trialling a new company - Lamont. They already supply some of the books in our Library and we hope that this year's Book Fair will be equally as popular as previous years. 

National Simultaneous Storytime

Wed 21 May at 12:00pm

Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, bookshops and many other places around the country. Now in its 25th successful year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy, using an Australian children's book that explores age-appropriate themes, and addresses key learning areas of the National Curriculum for Foundation to Year 6.

This year's story is called, 'The Truck Cat' by Deborah Fenkel.
