Down On The Farm With Junior Classes

At the beginning of Term 2 our junior students' topic was Farm Animals. We went on a farm visit and saw lots of animals including horses, sheep, a pig, dogs, deer and cows. As part of the follow up in the library we read farm animal stories and looked at where animal live and what animals can give us.

During the library sessions I try to include thinking skills. At the end of term one I posed a question to the middle syndicate about books being better than tv. Here are some of their responses.

Launch into Reading

Getting children and families into reading is one of our main foci for this year. This is the first year we have had a teacher librarian who works specifically in the library teaching children about books.
