Trevor R Wood Library The Reading Challenge was again taken up by boys in Years 1-6, who read 10 books from the lists of titles taken from our Library catalogue, including the boys’ favourite titles and authors, with new releases added to last year’s lists. “Connect to Reading” was this year’s Book Week theme. There was a focus on this theme during Term Three book sharing and discussions relating to the CBCA short listed books with classes took place. The Art department again focused on the short-listed books with their classes and shared the results of their work for display in the Resource Centre.
We hosted a Book Fair in September where we sold almost $3,000 worth of books to the boys. This provided $500 to be spent on books for Reception classrooms. The Preschool boys have visited for story and borrowing on a weekly basis and we enjoy their enthusiasm and continue to promote a love of books and reading with them.
Thank you to Jenny Bramwell, Lyn Hanley and Emily Stibbe for their continued assistance and support. Thank you also to Stephen Robinson for his prompt and efficient assistance with all things ICT as required in the Resource Centre. Thank you also to the volunteers who have covered new reading resources for use in classrooms. I sincerely thank the leadership team for their ongoing support of all things related to teaching and learning in the Resource Centre and TRW Library.
