NLB will be bringing in lots of good fiction books. We will go down to the canteen at 8:30am to start borrowing books.
Everyone is expected to borrow at least one book for the Sept Holiday. You will write a book review based on the book you have borrowed.
Tomorrow during assembly, NLB will present a skit based on the book, HOLES by Louis Sachar. It's a great read. Google and find out more about the story.
