We seem to be 'enjoying a theme' of interrupted weeks this term. Our challenges this week included days off to welcome home our teen Pilgrims (hooray they are home safe and sound:) and for our town's annual festival. Both of course important events, nevertheless I'm happy that we've managed to continue with solid learning despite the many life events being thrown at us.
I was excited to discover a couple of picture biographies this week, Meet Douglas Mawson by Mike Dumbleton and Jubilee! One Man's BIG, BOLD, and VERY, VERY LOUD CELEBRATION of PEACE - Alicia Potter were excellent, as were some of our Art, Antarctica and Aboriginal finds, which I really do plan on reviewing soon. It hadn't occurred to me to look in the biography section for picture books, fortunately they were on the display shelves and caught my attention, I've since reserved more biographies via the online catalogue so hoping for more 'wins'.
Whilst we didn't quantity as much this week we did have high quality. The children, 10, 8 & 6 have once again 'rated' the books, they are extremely tough, so you might like to 'up the marks' a little. Still it does give you an idea of the more excellent.
