REPORT
This year, the library was fully functional, returning to a sense of normality, the library operated during break which provided a safe space for boys to read, choose books and complete school work.
The usual Book Week was extended to Book Month. Various authors visited the school and introduced their books to the boys. The Grade 1s welcomed local children’s author, Linda Fellowes, better known as Lulu, who introduced her fairly recent book “Lockdown Luke”. Lulu has a passion for animals and her books aim to educate children on conservation and wildlife.
Grade 2, 3, 4 and 5 honored the award-winning author, Lori-Ann Preston from East London, who introduced her “Thabo The Space Dude” series. The boys thoroughly enjoyed hearing about Lori-Ann’s books, including her new fiction book “Thabo The Space Dude Logbook 3: Voyagers in Space”, about aliens and space. They had a blast creating their own story with the help of Lori-Ann, giving the boys an opportunity to be characters of their choice.
Jeremy Daniel, the local author of “The Road to Glory’’ biographies of South African heroes, discussed his writing journey with the Grade 6 learners. The boys listened intently as he shared how he acquired all the information he needed to write about the sporting heroes. Considering that most of the boys are involved in sport, Jeremy encouraged them to never give up and to always push through no matter the circumstances.
Bargain Books hosted a book sale over the duration of two days. The learners were very eager to buy books, which became clear on the second day of the book sale.
The dress up day gave boys in all grades a chance to dress up as a book character of their choice. Winners were selected in all grades including three winners in each class in Foundation Phase and 1 winner in each class in Intermediate Phase. We were very impressed with the creativity and effort put into the costumes this year!
Overall, the library operated successfully this year.
