Welcome to the Broadford Library Weekly Newsletter! 
Each week, we will be bringing you a look back on the previous week in the library, including the fun that our lunchtime library clubs have had, new books, children's book reviews, library displays and much more!

Lunchtime library club
Last week in our lunchtime library club, the children celebrated Harry Potter book day. They answered some questions to work out what Sorting Hat they would be in. Some of the children were happy with the results; however, we did have a few Slytherins in the group! They also looked at different types of dragon eggs that featured in the Harry Potter world and took part in designing their own dragon eggs.



Library displays 
We were recently very lucky to receive a wonderful donation of lots of Harry Potter books. This coincided perfectly with Harry Potter book day last Thursday, meaning we had a great selection of lovely books available for children to borrow.
 

New in the Library 
The UEFA Nations League international football competition is in full swing! We have lots of lovely football-themed chapter book sets for children to borrow, including Girls F.C, Frank Lampard's Frankie's Football Magic and the Jamie Johnson series.



Visitors to the library
Last week, our Chatterbooks library sessions continued. Our KS1 children carried on with their Funnybones theme, making their own skeletons using different resources for each year group. 

 



The KS2 groups continued with The Rainbow Fish, enjoying lots of fun activities including colouring their own rainbow fish (complete with special silver scales) and completing fish/sea-related matching games, word searches, crosswords.



Book reviews
Lily in Year 5 recommended 2x2=BOO! by Loreen Leedy. She loved how the spooky stories helped to make maths fun!

More Reading badge application forms have been posted! Well done to Princess and Faramade for completing the task at home. Fingers crossed your badges arrive soon!

Earn your Blue Peter Reading Badge! See how you can take part here or pick up an entry form from the library.  


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.
