Lunchtime library club 

Last week, our lunchtime Library Club children enjoyed some creative colouring for Elmer day. Miss Flower will be using everyone's artwork to create her new display board when we come back after half term!

Book of the Week

The Book of the Week last week was Greta and the Giants by Zoe Tucker. Greta is a little girl who lives in a beautiful forest threatened by Giants. When the Giants first came to the forest, they chopped down trees to make houses. Then they chopped down more trees and made even bigger homes. The houses grew into towns and the towns grew into cities, until now there is hardly any forest left. Greta knows she has to help the animals who live in the forest, but how? Luckily, Greta has an idea…

Chatterbooks sessions

Last week, library Chatterbooks groups continued with the funny book, Alan's Big Scary Teeth. Everyone got very creative, producing some great versions of Alan!

Urgent request - Returning borrowed library books

We have so many lovely books in our library but, unfortunately, many of them get borrowed by a child and then never returned to the library. Please can you check at home to see if you have any Broadford library books (stamped inside/Broadford logo attached). If you do, please pass them to your child to return to the library asap, where our Book Monster is waiting to eat them! Thank you.

Summer 1 may have been another short half term, but it was still very busy in the library, with lots of groups, activities and trips, and so many super readers enjoying the bumper range of books that the library has to offer!
 

Thank you to everyone for your continued support in making our school library a wonderful place for children to enjoy and grow their love of reading!

Year 2 Spinebreakers have a Teddy Bears Reading Picnic!

 

Yesterday morning, our Year 2 Spinebreakers had a wonderful time taking part in a Teddy Bears Reading Picnic!

First, they all had the exciting task of choosing which cuddly toy they would be taking to the picnic, and which bear-themed book they would like to read.

 Once they had chosen their picnic friends and books, Miss Flower started the fun by reading everyone the funny Teddy Bears Picnic story.

Then, everyone quietly read their book aloud to their cuddly toy.

Next, everyone chose some bear colouring sheets and produced some wonderful artwork.

Miss Flower then read another book to the group while everyone enjoyed a yummy sweet treat and drink to end the perfect Teddy Bears Reading Picnic!

Back in the library, the Spinebreakers were all awarded special certificates for taking part - everyone said they had the best time!
