Readers Cup Results- Year 5/6
I would like to congratulate our Readers Cup Teams for 2021. St Thomas More’s entered two teams and I am pleased to say that both of our teams finished in the top 6 out of 27 schools from around Canberra. I am immensely proud of their conscientious effort, teamwork and dedication to reading 5 novels with the challenge of remote learning thrown in!
Team 1: Ava White, Hunter Johnston, Ashlea Lewis & Isabel Curcio placed 6th and were highly commended for their answers.
Team 2: Leah Shoebridge, Erin Gabbitas, Madeleine Butcher & Elise Clark placed 3rd overall.
Book Club- Year 3/4
The Year 3/4 Book Club meetings have wrapped up for the year with a final meeting held this week. Our Year 6 leaders, Leah Shoebridge, Dominic Shoebridge and Ava White have done an outstanding job organising the meetings and quizzes centered around the most popular book ‘The Train to Impossible Places’. Book Club has been a successful initiative with many of our 3/4 students enjoying the joy that can be found in joining a community of keen readers.
Book Returns & Borrowing
The final loans day will be Monday 29th November (Week 9). I will begin spending outstanding loans notes from Week 9. If you can help to locate missing books, this would assist me in finalising the annual stocktake on time.
