Captain Underpants author Dav Pilkey coming to our school soon

We are so excited to be hosting a free event for Dav Pilkey, the author of the very popular Captain Underpants books. We have multiple copies of his books but they are never on the library shelves as they are always out being read by children. He will be at our school on Saturday 23rd May at 12pm. Check the school newsletter for more information or come and see me in the library.

This is a ticketed event and there will be no entry without a ticket. Tickets can be picked up from Desna in the school library but they will only be given out to adults. You can also obtain tickets from The Children’s Bookshop on Blenheim Road.

This event will be advertised in papers next week and we expect a rush so do get in quickly or you might miss out.

Enjoy watching the trailers about some of his books.

What if

By Anthony Browne

This is a very special book about feeling insecure in unfamiliar situations.

“What if Joe doesn’t like the party he’s going to? What if he doesn’t like the food, or the games, or the people?”

This is ideal for learning to over-come your fears and becoming comfortable in new surroundings.

Watch below as Anthony Browne reads his story for you. Remember that you can also use the library ipad to scan the QR code on the library shelf and watch it again and again. There are many other QR codes around the library shelves. Just ask me if you need any help and we can watch them together.

Wow. Look at all these books which have just been donated to the school library. The Tom Gates series is one of most popular series here at school and the books are always out with heaps of requests so this donation is very much appreciated. Thanks Katie W!

The books will be ready in a day or two for borrowing.

In the mean time you can watch this clip of Tom as he introduces his friends.

Dot by

Randi Zuckerberg

This delightful picture book is our book of the week and for a good reason.

“Meet Dot! She knows how to tap…to swipe…to share…” But does she know about finding balance between the digital world and everyday life.

Read this lovely picture book and find out how Dot explores the world around her.

Diamond

By Jacqueline Wilson

This is the latest book in the Hetty Feather series.

ANZAC Day is on the 25th April and even though it is during the holidays we still want to think about the day and all that it stands for.

We have a display in the library with many new books to look at and posters with lots of information.

There is even a competition where you have a chance to win books. Take a good look at the display and then answer some simple questions. A great way to brush up your information literacy skills and learn things as well.

Come and see me in the library if you are interested.

One of the new books is called

ANZAC the New Zealand Story : what it is and why it matters.

It is written by Philippa Werry.

This is a great book with heaps of information about why we have ANZAC Day and what it all means.

Did you know that the youngest New Zealander to die at Gallipoli was Private James Martin and he was only 14 years old. Very sad but you can read lots of other interesting things about Gallipoli when you come to the library.
