Junior School Resource Centre
Hello from the Library. Last week was Book Week and hopefully we have ALL had the opportunity to connect with reading. The legendary (well….) Mr Ramsay came down to read to 2T, and both of the Year 2 classes joined in the challenge to adopt a Rule of Summer according to Sean Tan's latest picture book.
Three boys from the Junior School (Gus Byars, Jasper Mirmikidis and Matthew Kerfoot) joined three Middle School boys in the annual Readers' Challenge competition held at MLC. Six schools competed with two teams of three representing each college. Although it was not a year for highlight reels, the boys should certainly feel proud of both their efforts and their conduct on the excursion.
Below I have written the winners of each category for Book Week and in the next Thistle edition you can look forward to viewing one or two of our classic Book Week Presentation photos and a run-down of the big event.
