Australia! Story Country

By Michelle Walsh

It's Book Week in Australia on 20th - 26th August and Michelle has kindly shared her impressive and inspiring display - I love the way the combined book covers make the shape of the country!

Poetree

By Elaine Pearson

Here is our 'poetree', blooming with poems selected or written by our staff and students.

It has been enormous fun discussing and choosing our poems! The students also had a go at some 'blackout poetry' with some very creative and interesting results!

National Poetry Day (New Zealand)

By Elaine Pearson

To celebrate National Poetry Day on Friday 28th August we have arranged several activities in the library. This display is to link in with the activities.

English classes have been invited to the library to spend a period looking at poems and either selecting a poem for our Poetree or doing some 'blackout poetry' (more on that later).

Molly has some great ideas for celebrating poetry on here Blog: Wrapped up in Books

Science Week (Australia)

By Michelle Olah

Thanks to Michelle for sharing her Science Display. Here are her comments:

'This is our library display for Science Week. We borrowed some equipment from the science labs and put out our non-fiction science books as well as our science fiction.
Behind the black curtain, I set up a data projector and played science based movies and YouTube clips at lunchtime. We called it the Black Hole Cinema, a great hide out!'

Some great ideas here Michelle! - Elaine
