TERM 4

Welcome back everyone!
After a very busy term 3 ending with the fantastic Zest Festival, we are already into the second week of term 4. The awesome Zest Fest display in the library has now been taken down and the library is back looking like a library. Thank you to all the students and staff that contributed with so many amazing works of art!

BOOK WEEK



We have just had a very successful Children's Book Week here in Kalbarri.
The theme this year was "Read Across the Universe". There was a big display

in the library with 'spacey' books and even an astronaut. At lunchtime all

students were invited to come in and create beautiful sparkly stars.

On the Tuesday we had the annual Readers Pic Nic and Friday went off with a bang

with 'Dress as an Alien' day and two exciting stories in the undercover area.

A very successful week indeed!

WELCOME BACK!

And we are already in to week 2.
Lots of exciting things happening this term; drumming, NCVISSA,
Book Week and Zest Fest just to mention a few.
We have more new books:

•  all the 12 books of the Cherub series,
• the GONE series
•  Brainjack
•  Ugenia Lavender

and many more - come in and choose a good book :)

NAIDOC WEEK

Come down to the library to view Aboriginal books and artifacts on display in celebration of NAIDOC week 7-14 July 2013. NAIDOC stands for National Aboriginies and Islanders Day Observance Committee
and is a celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and creates and opportunity to recognise the contributions of Indigenous Australians in various fields.

Year 7 Writer's Excursion to Geraldton

On Thursday June 20, Mr Bradley and a group of Year 7 students went to Geraldton to a Young Writer's Day organised by Fremantle Literacy Centre.

The guest speaker was Brian Falkner, an award-winning writer of children and young adult books. After this entertaining and engaging speach, Mr Bradley and the students returned with a keen interest in reading Mr Falkner's books.

The library holds one of his books, "The Project", and now have two more on order!

"The Project" - It started with a book.
The most boring book in the world!

So boring that nobody would ever read it.

The perfect place to hide a terrible secret.

But now the book has emerged from its hiding

place and the world may never be the same.

Falkner, B. (2010). The Project. Newton, N.S.W. : Walker.
