Olympics - Rio 2016

By Elaine Pearson

A simple display celebrating the 2016 Olympics. 

The two banners (Go New Zealand! and Brazil) were downloaded free from twinkl 

Each day we will profile one of the greatest New Zealand Olympic champions using details from the NZ Herald pages.

It's not easy being GREEN!

By Elaine Pearson

Even though it's not easy being green, Kermit the frog is having a great time presiding over the library. This display is to promote the green books in our collection to help students with their selection for our 2016 Olympic Reading Challenge. To qualify for the golf event, students have to read a green book (golf green - I know, a bit of a stretch!):

If anyone would like a copy of this challenge I am happy to share, just email me.

Olympic Reading Challenge

Joanne Shaw created these wonderful banners for our Olympic Reading Challenge.

The inspiration for the Challenge comes from this website which has lot of ideas and some great activities:

Karen Collins has produced some great record sheets. (They are PDF files) I adapted the idea to suit our college and the students have to complete challenges such as:

Weightlifting - a book of more than 450 pages

Marathon - read for one hour straight

Triathlon - three books of different genre

Relay - you and two friends read the same book

Modern Pentathlon - Five books of different genres

I've seen lots of lovely bright displays for the Olympics this year but this one by Anita is my favourite, it's a great idea and really nicely done. It must have been fun adding the people as they won. Roll on London 2012 - I know what display I shall be doing! Thanks Anita
