Library News
Welcome back this week to all of our Prep and Year 1 students. It’s wonderful to see you all and fantastic to see so many of you borrowing.
Even though a lot of us are learning differently this term and everything is a bit strange for us, it is actually a fantastic opportunity to read on many different platforms. We can’t wait to hear about all of your reading adventures when we are all together again.
This term Scholastic Book Club aren’t issuing paper brochures. If you are interested in purchasing from them, the link for the virtual brochure is below. On the last page of the brochure you will find how to order. For anyone who does make a purchase, when your order arrives at school, I will call you for collection. Don’t forget that as a bonus the school receives free resources with any purchases made. But more importantly your child gets to build on their own personal book collection. The cut- off date will be this Friday 15th May.

We have also registered again this year for the 2020 Premier's Reading Challenge
The Premier's Reading Challenge is an annual statewide initiative for state and non-state schools and home-educated students up to Year 9, and children enrolled in an early childhood centre or program.
The challenge is not a competition but aims to improve literacy and encourage children to read widely for pleasure and learning. Children and students can participate in the challenge within their school, early childhood centre or as individual readers (home-educated students or students whose schools are not participating in the program).
For Prep — Year 9 students to successfully complete the challenge they must read or experience an allocated number of books based upon their year level during the reading period.
Children and students who complete the challenge will have their efforts recognised through the receipt of a Certificate of Achievement signed by the Premier of Queensland.

Happy Reading
