FRIDAY IS ACTIVATE DAY

The challenge last week was to turn 3 packets of plain biscuits into something yummy!!!!.
I think they succeeded.

MONDAY MORNING

Feeling very special today. Thanks Leon your random act of kindness was a lovely surprise and wonderful start to the week ahead.

Principals Morning Tea

The Library was alive with Achievers and their whanau this morning as they gathered for the much awaited principals morning tea. Alize Robinson was one of the lucky Achievers to earn this award and her whanau were all on hand to help celebrate with her.

ACTIVATE

Activate has begun and I choose to run a Mystery Box Activate program. Each week the students will open the box and find any manner of things inside. Working together the students must then use the things to make, create, or become something. This week in the box was some tents, tarpaulins, blankets, sticks, a bag of Minties and other bits and pieces. I think if you check out the photos you will agree that they succeeded. Oh and with the bag of Minties we sat round the campfire and ate them while seeing who could make the longest spiral with the wrapper.

WITH JUST A LITTLE IMAGINATION

I arrived back from lunch today to find a group of students who were waiting for the library to open had decided to utilise the front deck as a stage and were busy practising a dance routine. Such a beautiful day outside so lunchtime library time moved outside. Thanks for the wonderful show girls.

Our First Reading Together Graduates

Check out this bunch of awesome Parents and Whanau who went through our very first Reading Together Programme and came away with some fantastic tips and strategies to help themselves as well as their children. Well done to them for wanting to make a difference in their child's learning. Looking forward to our next group in Term 3.

ACTIVATE

 Activate is in full swing and the library is a busy place every Friday as we do storytelling and story retelling. Really looking forward to the students finished product.
