The enchanted forest

 

A huge, huge thank you to Paul Walker, the assistant caretaker, for making the brilliant tree now installed in the library

He has spent many week nights building this tree and it certainly has the wow factor. I also want to thank a friend, Liz, for making the wonderful toadstool.

We have placed all sorts of spiders and bugs for the children to seek out. Do pop in sometime and see this lovely display. It is wonderful watching the children coming into the library and just going “wow”. Well worth all the time and effort.

Welcome back to term four

13 October 2009

Term four starts off with National Disaster Awareness Week.

We will be having an earthquake drill sometime this week to keep us focused on disasters and how we can be prepared.
The tragedy of Samoa is already in our thoughts as we think about disasters.
If you want to find out more about tsunamis go to Kids National Geographic. This is a very cool site with loads of information on all subjects. The library display also has books on tsunamis and other disasters.
There are places you can visit online to help you prepare for a disaster.
Get ready get thru is a great one and has heaps of ideas from Civil Defence.
Do you have a survival kit? Perhaps you can encourage your family to create one.

Display on Egypt

7 September 2009

Our latest display is on Egypt and many of the boys have loved peering into the lifestyle of the Egyptians, so many years ago.

It prompted some funny walking by three of our student librarians caught here on camera; Sam, Ben and Johnny.

Amazon jungle

The Amazon jungle would be an amazing place to visit. However I am not so sure I would want to meet any of the huge spiders that live among the trees. Our latest display is all about the Amazon and the Amazonian Indians. Watch out for the snake!
