Congratulations to the two classes who came close to earning Gold Stars last week – wonderful effort!  We would like to see lots more Gold Stars on the chart, let’s hope we all start remembering our Library bags.

Library Times:  Please try to help your children remember their Library Bags for the lessons. They have the opportunity to select books of their choice for reading for pleasure at home. The library Bag protects the books in transit.

• Tuesday – Year 3, Kindergarten, 5 Gold
• Wednesday – Year 1, Year 4, 5 Green
• Thursday – Year 6, Year 2

This term in Library lessons some classes will be exploring the wonders of Poetry – take a look at our Oliver home page and investigate some of the many links to interesting poetry sites - oliver.dow.catholic.edu.au/miev

Premiers' Reading Challenge: We now have over 80 students who have already completed the challenge, and another 230 who are almost there. There is only just over TWO weeks left now to complete the challenge, so it is important to ensure that any books read are registered. The last day for registering your books read is actually Friday 28 August so do it now!

Remember, any student who is having trouble registering the books at home is urged to come to the Library at Lunch 2 for assistance. If you only have a few books to read, we have put aside a collection of picture books and non-fiction books at each level which you can read during lunch and add to your lists!
