Dear Parents/Caregivers/Whanau,
Next week, Emmanuel is celebrating Book Week!
Our Librarians have organised a number of activities students can get involved during the school week, from bookmark creating competitions to quizzes!
Two key dates included in this are:
Tuesday the 5th – Book Character Day
Students are able to come to school dressed up as a book character. In the morning, weather permitting, we will have a whole school parade to give an opportunity to showcase the wonderful characters we are dressed up as.
For students that don’t want to dress up, they can come in normal school uniform.
Wednesday the 6th – Mobile Library Van
The Christchurch City Library van is coming back to school! If your child does not have a library card, now is the time to start thinking about it. You may go into one of the branch libraries and do it yourself, or – easier still – get an application form from the school office or the school library. That way you do not have to organise your own ID. The school does it for you!
Even if you live in Rangiora, Kaiapoi or Rolleston, you are entitled to this service for free until your child turns 19. This gives children access to 21 local libraries around the city, as well as many amazing online resources, which include e- and audio- books and books in many international languages.
With a library card, your child may borrow books from the library van on the day.
Blessings
