Term 1 Week 4 New Book Display

This week our non-fiction books are featuring Earth Science.
*Rocks is a well illustrated and set out book for geology enthusiasts. Dewey # 552
*Rangitoto by Maria Gill gives historical facts, Maori lore and flora and fauna information about our volcano.
*Be a Volcanologist and Be an Earthquake Scientist are from the Using Science series.
The NIRs this week are:
*Make Me the Flowergirl by Pamela Freeman
*Wild Things by Cynthia Maxwell
For senior readers we have a Chinese Cinderella Story by Adeline Yen Mah - *The Mystery of the Song Dynasty Painting.
Our Picture books are:
*WALL.E the intergalactic guide - SAU (SOP)
*Hey Presto by Rachel Hayward - H (PIC)
*Old Huhu by Kyle Mewburn - M (PIC)
Old Huhu is a beautiful story about losing someone who is loved. The story is sad but it leaves you with a smile. The illustrations by Rachel Driscoll are a great compliment to the book.

Last year Georgia and Herbert in R14 reviewed our 2 NIRs which introduce Keeker and her adventures with her horse, Plum. These books are written by Hadley Higginson.
They think that 7 and 8 year old girls would enjoy reading these books.
