Welcome to the Broadford Library Weekly Newsletter!

Lunchtime library club
Last week in the library, our lunchtime club got creative, making some lovely Mind Maps ready to start designing their own Comic Books. We cannot wait to see the finished comics.




Library displays
Our KNOWvember display has proved very popular, with lots of children (and adults) enjoying reading all of the facts! We have lots of informative non-fiction books, packed with interesting facts and information about anything and everything, which children can also borrow. 

We also have a great selection of Disney books in the Library for children to borrow. Please come and take a look.  




Chatterbooks sessions
Last week, the KS1 Chatterbooks groups started listening to the story The Leaf Thief. The children were very excited when they saw the leaves falling out of the book. Everyone loved blowing the leaves out of their hands.  
 

New KS2 Chatterbooks groups started enjoying fun Mr Men and Little Miss themed sessions, while listening to Mr Men: The Great British Tour. Everyone had a great time working together to answer questions about the story and using their imaginations to design their own Mr Men/Little Miss!




Book reviews
Some of our children have been thoroughly enjoying reading Shakespeare classics, include Lucas in Year 4 who recommends Hamlet and Macbeth.



Spinebreakers
Last week, our Year 5 Spinebreakers had a very productive trip to Waterstones in Romford where they purchased lots of wonderful new books for 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.
