Choosing books at The Book Nook

Nice and snug 

Outside The Book Nook

On a cold wet November
morning, a selection of pupils from Years 4,5 and 6, had the pleasure of spending an hour at The Book Nook choosing books for the Junior Library. Pupils chose three books each  and were kindly given a free book as they left the shop. Thank you Book Nook, we had such an interesting visit. All of the books bought will be on display and ready to borrow as soon as possible.

4Ri visit the Senior Library

Year 4 learning about the Dewey Classification System

Mr Batstone brought 4Ri along to the Senior Library to learn all about the Dewey Decimal Classification System. The pupils used Dewey Detective worksheets to help them understand how the non-fiction books are arranged. Once they had filled in their detective sheets, pupils then worked in pairs looking at one particular section of non-fiction. After gathering the information, they then worked on the computers to produce a word cloud containing all of the subjects they found within their area. These word clouds, shaped in the number of the Dewey Section, will be used in the Junior Library to help signpost specific subject areas.
