Summer Reading Program Weeks 2 and 3

Week 2 had many of us making crafts that had to do with the Great Barrier Reef. We had a blast making Nemo magnets and Sea Urchins from styrofoam balls. We even brought home an Ocean in a Bag!! All the crafts were so colorful, especially our Seahorses. We had a total of 123 participants come in this week!
Week 3 was all about the Outback and the Aborigines. We created beautiful Walking Sticks, but had to delay our Walk-About due to the rain!! We also made some Aboriginal handprints, a bull-roarer that really works, a boomerang, and some great clap-sticks! We learned about decorating with dots! There were a total of 127 for week 3!

Summer Reading Program- first week

The first week of Summer Reading was a huge success and so much FUN!!
We had 140 participants come in to make surf boards and wall decorations for their class wall. And so many pompom fish were created to decorate the window frame!
Many of you found Bindi on her first week out in Hooksett. She has traveled to a new location for the second week. Hope you can find her. Everyone has been doing a great job reading. Keep those surf boards moving up the wave!! Make every day, a G'Day For Reading!!
