THE EDWARDIAN GAZETTE Yr1s Visit the Library The Year1 second class reader of the week is entitled ‘The Library’. In order to demonstrate the reality of the topic, the Year1 class teachers, Miss Caruana and Miss Sullivan, took the boys to the large Library in the Senior School where they had a look at the numerous books and met the Librarian Ms Sultana. The teachers explained the way a Library works and how students can borrow books. Then they used the Oxford Reading Tree Big Book ‘The Library’ to create an interactive lesson on the topic, during which the boys willingly contributed. This was followed by a written activity when the boys went back to class.
