Our newly reorganized library holds a vast array of books ranging from easy chapter books to challenging novels. The library shelves are filled with non fiction books with information about animals, countries and weather to celebrations, magic and art. Students take great delight in sitting on our comfortable cushions or the lounge while reading quietly to themselves or a friend.
Each class from years K to 6 attend the library for one session a week for one hour. Within these sessions students have the opportunity to browse and borrow books for the classroom or for home. Also, during this time, students are actively engaged in a range of learning activities that explore aspects of information literacy.
This includes:
|
• Accessing and exploring the computers using a range of computer applications. • Using the internet and information books to research specific topics. • Gathering information for reports. • Exploring visual literacy through a range of picture books. • Exploring art techniques based on specific picture books. • Writing poems and stories. • Responding to literature in a variety of forms. • Using circle time to explore fiction and non fiction books. • Participating in book week activities. |
