There were no surprises with the Diary of the wimpy kid titles and the ever popular Roald Dahl. I was thrilled to see David Hill's 'Sinking' as our 6th most popular title. David was one of our visiting authors last year and made a big impression on the students.  

I wonder what our most popular titles this year will be? 

Making fun stuff - Family Fun Night

How to be a Librarian

My name is Phoenix. I have been a librarian for three
years. Being a librarian is very complicated. You have to
remember all the rules. There is a list of things you have to
do so you can get your librarian's badge. It's a badge that
says"librarian." I have to issue in the return books, put away
books, help out little kids, and check the books are in order.


It's just fun being a librarian. I like books. I'm kind of a book worm.
Andy Griffins is my favourite author at the moment.

Dastardly Dinosaur's - Room 5 Diorama's

Room 5 have shared their wonderful Dinosaur Diorama's with the rest of the school and displayed them in the Library. What a fantastic job they have done! And what a bright addition they have made. Thanks for sharing Room 5 - The other classes have enjoyed looking at your work and reading about the different dinosaurs  

"If you want to be a great writer - read!" Kate De Goldi

"If you want to be a great writer - read "

Just one gem of advice from multi talented writer Kate De Goldi.  Her visit to Victory Primary School at the beginning of the term was inspiring and a highlight of the year. She shared many more gems of wisdom and advice for budding writers. Her ability to reach the very youngest of our students as well as our seniors ensured complete engagement - She encouraged the children to "write about what they knew - their family, friends, the things around them..." and then she showed everyone her much treasured first story written in class at age 5. Her story was simply about her sister and a slide. ....  and everyone lived happily ever after!"  I think seeing this 'start point' -Kate's very first efforts at writing proved hugely motivating and inspiring for the students.

Kate sent  a lovely card thanking everyone at Victory..."the wonderful teachers and Principal and the dear Victory students"
