LIBRARY NEWS
The Junior Chess Tournament has started with a bang! 76 students are participating from years 1, 2 and 3 and they are showing great skill and sportsmanship. Round 1 will take 2 weeks and students are reminded to check the Library door each morning to see if they are competing that lunchtime. We will have a break in weeks 5 and 6 for the Scholastic Book Fair. Parents can volunteer to help at the fair by adding their name to the roster on the Library window or emailing me via the office. Shifts are 1 hour and 15 minutes for the 3 days before or after school or over lunchtime, on 26th, 29th and 30th May. We are excited about our new Guided Reading sets! If anyone has any free time next Thursday morning 11th May after drop off to help stamp and sort the books, it would be much appreciated and will speed up getting the books into our classrooms. Please email me via admin@hrs.wa.edu.au.
Thanks for all your support.
