More Library Week activites

ssummersmorrow — Thu, 21 May 2009 09:14:10 +0000

After the success of the 2008 community jigsaw, the library will be re-running this event in 2009. Last year students and staff of the college helped to complete a 1000 piece jigsaw of Anne Hathaway’s Cottage – this year we are being slightly less ambisious with a 750 piece jigsaw of Uluru (Ayer’s Rock) – don’t worry, we have a back up plan if our talented college community finishes it early in the week.

The children from Kameruka Cottage will be walking down to the library on Tuesday 26th to participate in National Simultaneous Storytime. The book for this year is “Pete the sheep” by Jackie French and Bruce Whatley. The children will be singing farm songs, eating farm animal cakes and doing farm craft as part of the celebrations. Come and have a look at the beautiful farm pictures they have made for us to display in the library browsing area.

For those with a sweet tooth try our “Guess the number of M&Ms in the jar competition” – the first correct entry (or closest entry if none are right) wins the yummy jar full of chocolate!!!

Library staff wish to thank the St George College Student Association who have kindly donated 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes for our two competitions.
