Book Week in the Library

Thanks to the student organisers of Book Week, we had a different reader every day.

Here is a group of students enjoying listening to Josh South. Thanks Josh.

100 Best Opening Lines

We are always trying to get children to start their stories with an interesting opening sentence to hook in the reader.

Here is a link to a collection of the best opening lines.

Is your favourite here?

Can you add any more?

e.g      My own fave which isn't on the list comes from Michael Morpurgo's Kensuke's Kingdom.

"I disappeared on the night before my twelfth birthday."

Highfield Readers out and about. 

Just make sure the books get back to the library girls!

Lunchtime today in the Library

Really great to see Kyla and her friend spending some time reading in the sun.

Well done you two.

Angus and his friend are enjoying a game of Guess Who.

Talking about Guess Who. Look who is training up to be a new librarian. Good for you. You are doing a great job of shelving.

Listen to these three young readers sharing how the library helps their learning. 

Thank you for your ideas!

The team are on the job. 

There are changes in the air for the design of the library and resource area. These children were in the library one lunchtime and shared their ideas and opinions about how are library could be rearranged and what is important to them in the library.

                               HEAD LIBRARIAN for 2012

Here is River. He is the head librarian this year. After spending time organising the return and shelving of books and distributing games for library visitors to use, River settled down to enjoy some game time himself.

Lots of people like to use our library at lunchtime.

Matthew says, "It is a good place to hang out."

Shaun and McCabe say, "It is fun because we have computers and it is a safe place to play and hang out with friends."
