Library Sessions

LIBRARY SESSIONS

Each class has a weekly session in the library and every child has an opportunity to take a book on loan. Please could you make sure that your child returns their library book each week on their library day so that they can either renew it or take another book. 

If the book is lost please provide a fee of £5 so that it can be replaced. This should be given to the school office in an envelope clearly marked for the attention of the Library with your child's name and class. 

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you wish to discuss this matter.

Unwrap New Books

More new books were unwrapped in the library this week.

'Whistling In The Dark' by Shirley Hughes

In the hardship of war, everything is rationed – except true friendship. From much-loved author Shirley Hughes comes a compelling wartime adventure set during the Liverpool Blitz.

            

Liverpool, 1940: thirteen-year-old Joan’s home is under threat from the Nazi’s terrifying nightly air-raids. It is not an easy time to be a teenager, especially with the sweet rationing, strict curfews and blackouts. Joan and best friend Doreen love going to the cinema until the bombings intensify and then even that becomes too dangerous, especially when an army deserter is found lurking near their home. Who is he and why does he think Joan can help him? As the Blitz worsens, Joan and her friends make a discovery that will tear the whole community apart…

'Darkmouth' by Shane Hegarty

A monstrously funny debut from the new star of middle-grade adventure. THEY'RE COMING!

 Legends (also known as terrifying, human-eating monsters) have invaded the town of Darkmouth and aim to conquer the world. But don't panic! The last remaining Legend Hunter - Finn - will protect us. Finn: twelve-years-old, loves animals, not a natural fighter, but tries really, really hard, and we all know good intentions are the best weapons against a hungry Minotaur, right? On second thoughts, panic. PANIC NOW!

Unwrap New Books

Presents for our Library

There was lots of excitement in this week's class session as the children helped me unwrap some of our new books.

The children had to guess what book was in the parcel.

Clue: "I wish I had better parents!"

Book:

'The Parent Agency' by David Baddiel

Barry has always hated being called Barry. In fact, its number 2 on the list of things he blames his parents for, along with 1. 'being boring' and 3. 'always being tired'. But then one day Barry makes a fateful wish, and finds himself in a world where everything is Upside Down.

Happy Reading!

The children helped me to unwrap more books.

Clue: "Unlike broccoli this book is good"

The children had lots of fun trying to guess the title. They used every possible adjective (amazing, astonishing, extraordinary, marvellous, stunning, incredible) before they came to 'astounding'.

Then one lucky child got to borrow the book from the library.

Book:

'The Astounding Broccoli Boy' by Frank Cottrell Boyce

Rory Rooney likes to be prepared for all eventualities. But Rory isn't prepared when he suddenly and inexplicably turns green.

Stuck in an isolation ward in a hospital far from home with two other remarkably green children, Rory's as confused by his new condition as the medics seem to be.

But what if it's not in their genes, or a virus, or something they ate? What if turning green actually means you've turned into a superhero?

Hilarious!

Learning can be fun!
