LEAPFROG

LEAPFROG poem
(Do you need to find something out in the library?
Then LEAPFROG till you get what you want. Keep jumping
to your goal, just like the frog looking for food.)

Lock in your goal today to succeed:
“What is it you want to know & achieve?”
Explain the plan to find it now –
jump straight to “How can we do it?” power.
Action your info, choosing right keywords:
if specific’s not right, then general’s good.
Plot your course via the main resource sections,
find non-fiction, reference, website, or person.
Format your info – skim, scan & summarise it –
evaluate the order so we understand it.
Read it out and assess, how best to present it?
Organise now a poster, play, speech, or booklet.
Go if you’re happy: “Did you get what you came for?”
but if not, Go back till you get what you aimed for.

Pip, our librarian (who likes frogs a lot!)

Term 4 Roundup

It’s the last term and we’ve got a new librarian. The library is looking a little different, but otherwise just as great as before! So come in and read a book, we have new ones and the old classics.
Emily, Hannah, Michaela and Tully are working towards their gold awards (for library leadership), while others are working towards their silver.
Tully

If you don’t know what to read or are stuck for a book come in to the library and look at the new section called HOT SPOT. Hopefully you will find a good book to read that you will enjoy.
Hannah

Our library is very colourful and full of decorations. There are lots of frogs to remind us to be like a frog when we are looking for information, and keep on hopping till we find what we came for. There’s even a LEAPFROG poem.
Emily

Come in at lunchtime on Monday or Wednesday and ask Pip to see the pop-up books. They're really cool! But not for borrowing.
