What fantastic timing! On one of the first days the whole school was back, we had National Simultaneous Storytime and what a terrific book, Whitney and Britney Chicken Divas!  Teachers moved to different classes to read the story and complete an activity.  There were also a lot of feather boas around the school.  I’m still getting feathers out of my car.

Borrowing will resume in Week 7. To help keep the students safe we have split library borrowing into two days   Blue classes and Kinder Gold will now borrow on Mondays, while Gold classes will now borrow on Fridays.  This will allow more time between classes to wipe down high use areas.  Additionally, returned books will be held for 24 hours before being put back on the shelf.
