Has your child caught the reading bug?

New Zealand library week was launched on Monday morning when

the “reading bug” popped into a school assembly to read to the

children. Since then the library has been very busy every

lunchtime with children coming in to sign up for a reading

challenge. There are 3 different challenges the children can

participate in, all designed to either encourage them to read

more often or to read a greater variety of text.

On Wednesday morning we invited Jonathan Usher (our resident

magician) Brian & Diane Miller (local authors) and Bridget

Schaumann (the Kings High School librarian) to read Mr Muggs

the Library Cat to each division.

The reading bug also returned to read to the juniors. This was

part of a nationwide Library week event – “New Zealand’s

Largest Story Time”. All reading the same book at the same

time.
