Book Fair 2020

We are very excited to announce that Book Fair 2020 is coming in term 3 week 8 and 9!

There will be lots of books and stationery for sale and NFSS will receive a percentage of all purchases that will go towards more books for the school library!

The book fair will run a little differently this year due to the current COVID-19 situation:

• No parents to come into the book fair on the school grounds.
• Students will bring home a wish list of books and stationery they have seen at the book fair.
• Parents can make a purchase online and students will be given the book/stationery at school.
• Students can still take cash to school to spend on any item in the book fair.

More information will be given during Term 3 week 7.

Any queries please email me alamb105@eq.ed.edu.

Premiers Reading Challenge

Premiers Reading Challenge forms are due on the 28 August. It’s not too late to grab a form now and start reading!

A reminder that all students Premiers Reading Challenge forms need to come back to the library by the 28 August, so students have about 4 weeks to log all the books they have read.

If students haven’t started recording but know what books they have read, they can still collect a form from the library, fill it in with some help if needed. It’s not too late!

Students are to return their completed forms to the library, and I will register the student’s total amount of books read during the challenge.

Digital access to reading

Don’t forget students still have access to eBooks, audio books and read-along-books at the EQ Digital Library. Students only need their MIS ID and no password is required.

You can access the elibrary on your PC here or through the SORA app here.

Students can access the New Farm State School Library Catalogue to search for physical books in the library using their students MIS ID and password: newfarmss. Students and parents can see:

• Student current loans.
• New books that have recently arrived.
• Popular reads and popular series.
• Suggestions for upper and lower fiction and non-fiction interests.
• The Top Borrower of the Week and other events in the library.

Our top Borrower for Term 3 week 3 is Thalina B in 2A.

Thalina is enjoying reading non-fiction books about nature including the weather and animals.

Well done and congratulations Thalina for your huge enthusiasm for reading!
