Library News

Last Wednesday, all students attended sessions by author Tim Harris. Tim had the K-3 students enthralled with his tales of epic food fights and pillow battles, rats stealing pizza crusts and talking books. Some brave students dressed as rats and attempted to steal pizza slices from under teachers’ chairs. The teachers, blindfolded and armed with a pool noodle were sadly defeated.

 

Year 4-6 students were engaged in the creative writing process. Tim inspired them to craft characters and create dialogue. So many of our students left the session with an interesting character and the start of a story. I can’t wait to read their writing! Tim entertained the audience with tales of his writing process and insights into the design of a book cover.

 

The library has since had a surge in borrowing of Tim Harris’ books, with a large list of his titles on reserve. If you would like to buy any of his books for home, The Book Cow is still selling them and can deliver them to school. Please see the flyer below.

 

Happy Reading!
