Light Up The Library

JS Library - Makerspace "M@ke IT @ the JS Library"

SEARCH - ASK - LEARN - CONNECT

The Book Week theme this year connected many areas of the curriculum. In particular possible connections with STEM are exciting. As in previous years the classes examined the Shortlisted Books 2015 and voted on these.

As a class activity each class constructed a lantern (or lanterns) which displayed their interpretation of the theme “Books Light Up Our World”.

These lanterns are on display in the JS Library during Book Week (Week 7).

See below for the many lunchtime activities students had the opportunity to be involved in.
