The lost thing* *Digital Book
Don’t judge a book by its cover!
At the end of last term we encouraged our older classes to look deeper into a text before choosing to borrow it. We wrapped the books in brown paper and placed a photocopy of the first page on the front to ‘read a little of the book’ before you ‘borrow’. Students are working on finding books, authors and stories or information that they LOVE!
Library TECH
This term in our Library Tech lessons we are brushing up on our definitions of all things Library and research including: Dewey decimal, plagiarism, copyright, OPAC, phishing, scam, virus, socials and so much more! We will also learn some really useful shortcuts for using Word.
The Olympic Games!
We are on the countdown to they Olympic games and are so excited to watch the Australian Medal Tally.
