Library Closed on Lunch Break

 

Due to new Covid protocols, our library will remain closed during lunch breaks. To borrow library material, students must accompany their class during a scheduled period. Please return any library books as soon as you are finished with them. The safest place is to place them in the book return outside the library door. Remember, in order to borrow another book, you must return the book you borrowed. 

For the remainder of December there is going to be a theme for particular days in the library. During the grade 5/6 lunch break the following is available to you.

Wednesdays - Board Games

Thursdays - Minecraft (BYOD) 

 

Fridays - Reading, writing and drawing

Entice Your Senses!

There's nothing like having the right music or sounds to really grab our attention or to set us at ease... Many of the links below, I have personally listened to and enjoyed playing while working, reading, or just relaxing. Music and sounds just add to the experience. There are also some pretty cool visual effects too.
