Book week 2011




Last week the Primary Library was all decorated up with 70 metres of fabric and a hanging blow up whale. Why?
The reason was simple, Book week 2011 'Under the Sea.'

The Primary School had all sorts of events and exciting things going on, including special visits from Janice Santikarn (author of the Little Blue Tuk-Tuk series) and an all Primary book character dress up day on Friday.
The Library joined in by having lunchtime activities everyday in the Primary Library.

To get the week started we had a special storytelling session with our Headmaster, Mr Kevin Riley followed by some 'Under the sea' style food.
The goldfish crackers and seaweed were very popular!
Treasure hunt Tuesday was a big success. We had 19 teams of students searching for letters to make the secret word.
Wednesday was games day, with pass the parcel and musical beanbags, plus big bubble makers to play with out the front of the library.
The Thursday event was a very special limerick writing competition - we had some fabulous entries and two special guest judges from our secondary English department were able to find us some winners, even though the competition was tough.
To finish off the week, we had a lucky borrower draw.

Thank you to everyone who came along and joined in. It was such a fun week.
Also, a big thank you to our special guests.
Next year will be even better!
