Their work has proven without a doubt that reading to children does make a difference!
Festival Of Action
It is inspiring to watch the Year 6 students embark on their Festival of Action and embrace the topics that they are most passionate about. It always begins in the Library. This is where they can find books, magazines and online resources about their chosen subject. This year, we have curated the best sites for kids taking action and put them together in an online Magazine, so our students can go to one place to start their safe search for what they need.
Here is the LINK for our Festival of Action online magazine so you can take a look.
Discovery Time
How are waves made?
What kind of dinosaurs are there?
How do fish live under water?
These are just some of the questions our little inquiring minds want to know!
Earth Day!
We love each and every one of these tiny eulogies.
Vision2020
It's not just enough to keep the Library stocked and tidy. We are always looking for ways to innovate and to stay relevant to changing technology and an evolving curriculum.
What will Libraries look like in 2020?
What will we be like in 2025?
Kevin Hennah's Vision2020 workshop which was held at the ESF offices was full of inspiring ideas and thought-provoking questions that gave us much to think about for the future.
"Change is inevitable, however maintaining relevance is a matter of choice."
