the Book Fair and our school library.

We are so lucky to have such a modern, well resourced library, com-

puter lab and connected classroom - enabling our students to research

Try to keep that reading routine going. Even in this busy season and

through the holidays, if we make the effort to take time to read, then

it becomes part of our day and that is awesome.☺☺☺☺☺☺
