Master - Librarian Book Review Challenge

This competition was open to all Rangi Students. They had to create a really impressive book review to inspire their fellow students to read a favourite book. The reviews are displayed in the library so go have a look. Mrs Tait said it was very hard to pick the winner.

Congratulations to Jordan and Kowhai who won

Book Swap

 ***STOP PRESS***
The first ever book swap was a huge success.
Thank you all for bringing books.
Thank you Mrs Chrisp for igniting our passion for reading.
Thank you to our special visitors for joining in.

The Gisborne herald photographer Dave came so we look forward to seeing the article in the paper.

Next Wednesday the 6^th June will be the first ever ‘Great book Swap’ held in room 13.  If successful this may be the first of a quarterly event and one which Room 13 would like to see catch on to the syndicate then school.

The idea is simple – bring a book, take a book.  Bring 10 books, take 10 books.   Each student is issued with “book tickets” when they drop off their book to the book station.  The tickets allow them to choose other books.

Students who want to participate bring books from home, that they have finished reading and don’t think they will read again.  We talked about the importance of not raiding your big brother’s bookcase at home but only bringing your own books that you really are finished with.

 The concept came out of the Re-using and re-cycling.  Books are expensive and not all students get to go to the local book shop and buy new books, with the book swap students are getting ‘new’ books without spending any money. 

GLOOP Disaster
