Library
We are very proud of our bright and spacious school Library which has a diverse range of books, both Jewish and secular, fiction and non-fiction, for all ages. The Library has a computerised database system and the books are shelved using a colour coded scheme and the Dewey Decimal Classification system.
Once a week all the classes have a Library time during which they have time to borrow books, research topics or read. We have a wide variety of reference books including poetry, history, geography, multicultural, technology, etc.
Our Jewish fiction books are varied and suitable for all age groups. The Jewish non-fiction books are categorised under several headings including Jewish Living, Jewish Year, Jewish History, Tefillah, Torah, Israel, Holocaust and Hebrew Language.
Events
The school has an annual themed Book Week in which we have lots of interesting activities for all the pupils. We invite various key speakers, authors and story tellers. We run a successful book fair during this week for parents to come and purchase popular titles and exciting new books. This is always very well attended and parents are always happy to support us in this event.
We also run a poetry competition, which encourages the children to learn a new poem and recite this in front of their peer group , and a public speak competition. A book prize is awarded to the winners of each year group.
