Star Wars miniature characters – great book week idea

Jasmine has made these wonderful miniature Star Wars characters. They are so small and detailed. These would be great for the altered tins/diorama competition using a small tin or small box. Do you have ideas like this? Perhaps using a Lego character inside a small box with night sky paper behind. Be creative! Enjoy the holidays everyone and see you back here next term with some of your own creations.

Book week was fantastic

Last week was fantastic. Books everyone, books to read, books to buy, books to share and enjoy.

So many of you entered competitions that judging is going to be hard but we will let you know the winners at the next full assembly.

Thank you to everyone who entered competitions, who shared their stories and read to each other. Thank you to all the parents who bought books for your children or who bought books to donate to the library. It is very much appreciated. When these books have been processed they will be on display in the library. I will let you know when this is up.

Dress-up day seemed to be the favourite day for so many children. They looked wonderful in their outfits, dressed as pirates, princesses, and even ugly sisters.

Book week. What a wonderful week!

Parade day with Eve, Georgiana, Lily and  Gabby enjoying the competitions in the library.

Thank you to everyone for making book week such a success. Parade day was a real highlight with so many children running around in wonderful costumes.

The competitions are being assessed at the moment and results will be ready soon.

We sold over $7500 worth of books which is brilliant. The commission we earn will go towards setting up a senior fiction area and new library books.

We loved all the visitors to school who came and shared their stories. We had All Black and Crusader Andy Ellis reading stories and showing us his World Cup medal. Bob Docherty came and reviewed books for the seniors and Zac Harding from Christchurch City Libraries came to read to everyone else.

A great week with everyone sharing stories and reading,  so well done. Thank you from all the book team.

Bailey with storyteller Zac.

Welcome to a very busy term 3

I hope you all had a lovely holiday and are keen to get back in to school. This is going to be a very busy term. We had the Olympic Games, and Arts fortnight, Wearable arts, and Maths Week.

But the best will Book Week in week 5. Lots of competitions and prizes to win. Heaps of new books to buy and lots of special visitors.

One of the competitions will be to make your own book trailer based on one of your favourite books.

Check out these two below.

“The worst thing about my sister”  by Jacqueline Wilson (a great year 5-6 read)


Or you could try this form of book trailer.

Ivy and Bean : Doomed to dance

By Annie Barrows. Super read for the year 3 and 4 girls.

 

 

Perhaps you and your friends could act out your own trailer. You will need to get started soon if you want to impress the judges.

Bob Docherty

We were lucky to have Bob Docherty visit us as part of book week. He was brilliant. Bob enthralled us with his reviews. There were queues next day to get out the books he spoke about.
Most common words today are – “Have you got that book Bob talked about, you know the one about….”
Wonderful. Thanks Bob
You can read some of Bob’s other book reviews on his blog.

Kiss Kiss Yuck Yuck – Book Review by Lucy R17

This story is about a boy that hates seeing his Aunty. She is called Aunty Elsie. All the time Andy tries to run away but Aunty Elsie is too quick and Andy is too slow and Aunty Elsie just puts her arms around Andy and kiss on the left cheek and kiss on the right cheek.

“Yuck yuck,” said Andy and they all came the same. Andy just squeezes his eyes and tries to get out but he can’t.

Tom and Jerry

The story “Tom and Jerry” is based on a mouse and a cat and a very funny story. Jerry (the mouse) is running away from Tom (the cat) and pulling pranks on Tom. Tom tries to chase Jerry. I like it because it is so funny and so childish.

Pony Pals

I like this book because they have lots of adventures. The characters are… Lulu Pam Anna Acorn Lightning Snow White Dr. Crandal. These girls have ponies. Dr. Crandal is a vet. In the book I’m reading of this, they’re trying to save a cat.

It’s about a kitten that is magic. It can turn into a lion. It was Christmas when it all happened. He was the prince kitten. His uncle was trying to steal his royalty. His name was Flame.
