National Simultaneous Storytime
Next Wednesday 27th May at 11am our school will be participating in National Simultaneous Storytime. The book we are sharing this year is called Whitney & Britney Chicken Divas by Lucinda Gifford.

Chess News
We have been enjoying Chess Online but we are ready to welcome Chess back to the Library. Mr Lord will continue to meet with us via Zoom in the LIBRARY from 7:45am each Tuesday morning. After Mr Lord has conducted his lesson, I will supervise students Chess games in the Library. If your child / ren interested in joining Chess at school please let Mrs Leathart know and I can send through details, times and costs. Send an Email to: Danielle.Leathart@twb.catholic.edu.au
Graphic Novels
We have a growing collection of graphic novels at Lourdes and they have just been relocated to a space of their own. Graphic novels are a subgenre of comic books. They usually resemble a novel in length and narrative development. So, while they may look like a comic books, they come in many genres including science and history. If you are having trouble motivating a reluctant reader try to not overlook this collection. “Graphics” offer opportunities to combine visual literacy and enjoyment of literature. They can also help lead students towards more traditional novels in the future.
Library at Lunch
Mrs Leathart will be opening the Library to students for reading each Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The Library will be open for students in Year 1 – 3 after they have eaten at Morning Tea. The children in Year 4 – 7 can visit from 1pm.
Book Club
Orders for Issue 3 have been delivered. Thanks to everyone who ordered and supported the school. The latest catalogue for Issue 4 will be available soon. Orders can then be placed via LOOP and delivered to school. We expect delivery approximately 1 – 2 weeks after this closing date. Please be patient if there are delays due to the busyness of the postal/delivery services. If you have any issues or questions about Book Club please email: LourdesLib@twb.catholic.edu.au
Thanks for reading!
