Library News
For Library Lover’s Day last week, Ms Alcock tasked the students with writing down their favourite books and series onto a coloured leaf to add to the ‘Book Lover’s tree’. From Dog Man to Pig the Pug to Diary of a Wimpy Kid, it’s been great to see the wide variety of stories that are well-loved by the students at St John’s.
Chief Minister’s Reading Challenge
St John’s is excited to be entering the Chief Minister’s Reading Challenge again this year. Students in Kindergarten, Year 1 and 2 will be completing the challenge during library lessons. Students in Year 3 will keep a paper list in their classroom, and students in Years 4 to 6 will have their reading records available on Google Classroom from next week. The challenge is to read 30 books before Friday 11th August. Once completed, students need to inform Ms Alcock.
