Happy Year of the Pig!
新年快乐! Xīn Nián Kuài Lè!
Wishing you a happy, prosperous and peaceful New Year! As the year of the Pig is upon us it's a great time to read Sarah Brennan's final instalment in the Chinese Calendar Tales series "The Tale of Ping Pong Pig". Sarah kindly signed the copy purchased by Peak school library and it's wonderful to have the book available in the library in time for the CNY holidays.
Book review Challenge 2019
The children of Peak school certainly are motivated and willing to rise to any challenge! The Library has received more than 40 entries for our Book Review Challenge. Every entrant in the challenge has already received 5 house points and the promise of more has resulted in some truly wonderful work. The deadline is today and now we have the task of choosing the ones to go on the library wall and receive the bonus 10 house points. Wish us luck as the challenge ahead is a tough one...
Just so we're clear...
There's nothing better than watching a child take a risk with a book, trying something different and new really stretches them in manifold ways. They discover new ideas, new language and new concepts. At Peak School Library we are keen to nurture this growth and have decided to limit the number of graphic novels a child can take each week to just one. This is mainly a change for years 5 & 6, but we also want to make sure that the other years are stretching their reading too. Whilst graphic novels create wonderful worlds that are easy to access, it makes us sad to see children limiting themselves to that genre alone and not making the most of the collection we have here in our library. We will continue to grow all our collection's including the graphic novels, and hope the users of Peak School will make the most of the breadth and depth of all the books in our library.
