Library Request- still needed 

Do you have any small blue items around your house? In preparation for the National Simultaneous Storytime next Term, I am asking families to bring in anything blue to create a display- similar to what is in the photo below. Please ensure items are clean eg. yoghurt tops. Thank you in advance and to those families who have bought in blue items already.

Thank you to everyone who has returned their books this term. We still have a number of overdue books 

Thank you everyone for your support this Term! 

Happy reading! Mrs Basedow  amanda.basedow@catholic.edu.au
