Spring has Sprung!

The sun is out and the temperature is rising! No it's not the Libraian getting cross because too many students are on Halo....the holidays are getting closer and with such wonderful weather what better way than curling up in the sun with a good read. 
This blog can now be accessed directly from the HIBS Library page.  Your comments and thought are most welcome.  It has been really nice seeing students using the Inquiry? page during their research for Social studies and English.  I have added some new ones today including the Google a Day site which gives a different question each day and ask you to research to find the right answer....Have fun!

How to read a book you don't like!

Week 3 Term 3 already!

I swear the year is flying past.  Thank you to all of you who took part in the John Marsden visit.  He was really impressed by the confidence, politeness and behaviour of our students and the feedback I have had from the visiting schools has been all good so thanks and don't forget to come to the pizza lunch next week if you were one of the helpers.
