Thanks to the Year 5 Classes who created these posters!
The Centenary Library Medal launched this term, where each Year 7 class had to decide on one favourite fantasy novel, then promote it to their peers using posters, videos and bookmarks. The students also presented at assembly persuading undecided voters that their chosen book should be the one to win. Congratulations to 7C who took out the win with The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.
Father's Day
Boys in the Centenary Library designed personalised mugs to gift to their fathers!
There are so many great books in our Middle School Libraries that some gems are overlooked. A display for the Years 5 and 6 boys is asking them to explore some "Hidden Treasures" and recommend whether we should look to purchase more in the series or let them find a new home.
As you can see, Tom got right on board!
Visualise - Question - Predict
Our Year 8s boys practiced metacognition in their Library lessons as they read sections from four different stories and then discussed them.
They were challenged to visualise as they read, question what events might have led up to this part of the story and predict what might happen next. Some readers do this intuitively; others need to consciously think about this as they read.
Books with a twist, where the reader didn’t predict how the story would end, can be very satisfying to read. Others, with unreliable narrators, can either be fascinating or frustrating. If you like books with a big twist, try some of these:
