Our year 6s were tasked with creating 'Book Bentos'. The challenge was to represent your book though images while staying within an A3 piece of paper. This is just a small sample of the amazing work they all produced.

What's the role of non fiction in a modern school library? Aren’t school libraries culling their non fiction and students turning to online sources? I believe that non fiction still plays a vital part in the school library for all ages. Here's why. https://t.co/KtAGovCTHi

Senior Book Club had an amazing chat with author Rhiannon Wilde on Wednesday about her novel, Henry Hamlet's Heart. They had some fantastic questions for her and Rhiannon had equally fabulous answers for them. Thank you again for your time Rhiannon 🙏

Library lessons to develop Readers, Researchers and Thinkers - such a useful and ellegant model. Teachers and students know when it happens. Our teachers and students do, the latest library survey shows.
