Happy New Year!
Welcome to the first Broadford Library newsletter of 2025!
Last week, Miss Flower and Mrs Jobber had a very busy week refreshing the library and planning lots of fun for the Spring term.
Library displays
We are all feeling very chilly at the moment in the wintery weather, so our new display board is perfect timing!
Lots of children are enjoying taking part in our New Year, New Genre challenge - the aim of which is to encourage children to try reading from a book genre that they have not tried before, such as 'history', 'mystery' or 'science fiction'.
If children cannot decide which new genre to try first, they can pick a colour from a Genre Jar and then choose a book from the genre that it relates to.
To go alongside this challenge, we have created a bookmark for children to use so that they can tick off each new genre as they read a book from it.
Book donations
We are always grateful and lucky to receive lots of book donations from generous parents, carers and children. If you have been making space for new books received as Christmas presents at home and have any books in good condition that are no longer wanted, please either hand them into the school office or give them to your child to bring into the library. Thank you.
105 Books reading achievements
Well done to Scarlet and Oscar who have read five books, earning their Bronze Certificates.
Well done to Aadhav and Oscar who have read 10 books, earning their Silver Certificates.
Well done to Aadhav, Alice and Oscar who have read all 15 books, earning their Gold Certificates and completing their trackers.
Well done to all!
You can find the books from the 105 Books list for your child's year group here
Blue Peter Reading Badge
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.
