Lunchtime library clubs
Last week, we spoke about the importance of rules and behaviour while in the library. The children took ownership of the task and worked on their own rules, coming up with some lovely, creative ideas in the form of LIBRARY acrostics.
Library displays
Make SPACE for reading...
From 4th-10th October, we celebrated World Space Week in the library, with a super display about space and a selection of space-related books for all ages - some of these books you will find in our 105 Books to Read Trackers.
New in the Library
A book a day keeps the monsters away...
The children have loved seeing the scary changes added to the Library ready for Halloween.
We have a SPOOKTACULAR selection of Halloween books for all ages that the children can borrow.
Why not get wrapped up in a good book?!?
Visitors to the library
Last week, our Chatterbooks library sessions continued with a new group of children from each class. Our KS1 children have started listening to the story Funnybones and are very excited to begin their activity this week.
The KS2 groups are enjoying The Rainbow Fish, taking part in a shared reading of the book, answering group questions about the story and making their own Rainbow Fish using rainbow scratch notes.
The Chatterbooks sessions are proving to be very popular with all the children around the school. It is so lovely to see everyone getting excited when we go to pick the new group from each class!
A special Librarian certificate was awarded last week to Amari, who had such fun taking part in his Chatterbooks session that he even persuaded Mrs Nicholls to enjoy reading Man on the Moon with him too!
Each week, we also take a variety of books to Nursery and read to a group of children during both the AM and PM sessions. We are so happy to be able to give all children in the school an opportunity to listen to a story, complete fun activities and share the joy of reading.
Book reviews
Jessica in Year 5 recommended How to Scare a Ghost by Jean Reagan. Her favourite part was when the ghost and children scared the parents.

Urgent request - Returning borrowed library books
We have had lots of lovely new books added to the library collection over the past couple of months but, unfortunately, many of them have been borrowed by children and 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.
