Junior School Resource Centre
It was lovely to welcome your sons back after the holiday break - they are certainly looking refreshed and enthusiastic. Over the break, I was assisting a number of Year 5 boys with their exhibition research. They are certainly posing some interesting questions. If any other boys need assistance they can email their "burning question" to library@scotch.wa.edu.au.
Book Week is only three weeks away. We have a group of Year 4 and 5 boys reading and analysing the shortlisted books to compete in a quiz with neighbouring schools in the Readers Challenge on August 25. The annual Book Week Parade will be on Thursday 27 August. On this day we are asking the boys to come dressed as their favourite book character. I have been discussing this in library sessions and the emphasis is on creativity and using your imagination to create a costume from what you have at home, can borrow, by purchasing fabrics and accessories from places such as Spotlight and Red Dot. Judging by the boys' enthusiasm and ideas we are in for some interesting costumes.
