We have a wide range of books, magazines and DVDs your child can issue.  They can borrow up to five books and have two weeks to return them to the library.

We expect children to be responsible for the care and protection of our lovely new
library books. All children should have a safe method (book bag, plastic bag,

End of Foundation Year

Today marks the final day of school for 2012 and the end of our foundation year.  Our library is a friendly, fun and fabulous place - many thanks to all the students, staff, parents and volunteers who have made it a special place at Amesbury School.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 

Scholastic Book Fair

The library has transformed into a shop for a couple of days. The Scholastic Book Fair is on Friday 30th November and during the gala day on Saturday afternoon (2-5 pm) Come and buy some books for yourself or to give as Christmas presents. Our school benefits as the more books we sell the more free books we earn.

Dream Catchers

Harakeke students have been investigating art from other cultures. One group investigated dream catchers. They asked questions, searched for answers and shared their findings with the group. A couple of findings are explained in the video clip by Samuel and Ella. If you would like to make a dream catcher see the instructions written by Karina and Samuel in the post below.
