Christmas News 2020
What’s happening in the library?
1st, 2nd and 3rd years are finishing up a reading challenge on December 14th, with each class trying to reach 1 million words within one month.
3rd years are edging it at the moment, with close competition from Curie and Taylor. The winning class will have a Firehouse Pizza Party! Spot prizes and awards for effort and achievement will also be given to students in each year.
We had our annual visit in the patio from 9ironsforge, the mobile blacksmith. Patrick saw all 1st years and some students who had missed his visit last year. All students experienced the hypnotic flame of the forge and finished their workshop with a handmade piece of jewellery. Heritage in the heart of the school! The video can be viewed below.
With the guidance counsellor, Ms Maguire, we are promoting the resources of our Wellbeing collection of books recommended by Jigsaw Youth Mental Health. These books cover creativity, relationships, managing anxiety and anger, grief, parenting, social media and all the hot button issues of being a teenager or parent to a teenager. Parents, guardians and students are welcome to borrow and they are also available on the Sora online library, which you can access directly from the virtual library image.
Writer’s club continues twice a month for juniors with CDETB writer-in-residence Debbie Thomas. Debbie Zooms in this year to chat with our writers and encourage the fantastic poetry being produced by this talented bunch!
