Welcome to our library by Isabella

Our Library

This picture shows the issue desk in the library.  This is where the librarians issue out the class books. This section is for the librarians only.  At the issue desk the librarians will tell us which books are overdue and when we would have to bring it back. We also get fines if we don’t bring them back.



In this picture it shows the magazine stand this is where all the magazines are kept. The magazines are there for some students to read when they have free time.

I took this photo of the computers because when we come to the library some of us go on the computers if we don’t have a netbook.


These are the easy to read books. These books are for the years 4-6. These are used for the students who find chapter books hard.

This picture  shows the senior fiction books. These are books for the senior students only, years 7 and 8.

My friendship poem

Friendship

Friendship looks like your favourite food because it looks delightful just like my best friend

Friendship sounds like listening to my favourite music with my friends.

Friendship smells like the favourite perfume my friend wears.  She always smells beautiful just like her personality.

Friendship feels like a heart-warming hug because my friend gives me hugs when I come to school in the morning.

Friendship tastes like my favourite food because I love it and I love my friends more than anything.
