Senior Students Savour 'Book Tasting'

Over the last two weeks, our senior library hosted a 'Book Tasting' for our Year 5 & 6 students to expand their reading palate. The 'Book Tasting' gave them the opportunity to engage in reading, while familiarising them with a wide variety of genres and books they might not have considered in the past. Year 6 students were given a 'Taste' of our Middle School fiction books, ready for Year 7 next year. We enjoy coming up with new and creative ways to encourage our students to read and experience the love of literacy.
