Hi everyone!

Just letting you know that the School Libraries and Information Literacy Unit (of NSW DEC’s CLIC) is hosting an exciting Stage 1 & 2 Book Week rap, based on the shortlisted picture books (from across the various categories). The rap will run from Weeks 5- 10 Term 3. Teacher Librarians Ian McLean (Penrith PS) and Jenny Scheffers (Caddies Creek PS) will be coordinating this dynamic book rap, along with Cath Keane (Editor Scan).

We are hoping to have a lot of schools from across our network take part. So if you’re interested, please start mentioning it to a few class teachers now so you can have them “lined up” ready to go! You’ll need to start reading the shortlisted picture books to classes from the start of next term in readiness for the commemncement of the book rap in Week 5. Lots of exciting T & L activities (including Web 2.0) are planned!

We hope you will join us!
