‘Many of the books selected this year will move readers with a wonderful mix of stories that are sad, honest, informative and funny,’ said CBCA National Chair, Professor Margot Hillel.

‘Humour is used to deal with themes ranging from friendship and grief, to bullying and love. Interestingly, several titles feature the weather, and across all categories, animals remain a popular theme. Characters are both gutsy and relate-able, although not always likable.’

   MON 22 & TUE 23 in the LIBRARY 

                                  An hour WORKSHOP for each 5/6 grade at 9, 10, 11.30 am and 1.55 pm

Presentation, Demonstration and Creation using discarded books with Nicholas Jones BOOK SCULPTOR, the workshop will look at the art of repurposing existing objects with new and exciting results.

 

TUE 23 in the HALL 

  • A PERFORMANCE for all the grade 1/2s at 1.55 – 2.55 pm

A place where the world of fairytales meets the world of board games, where one must play to discover what the rules are – but beware the Queen, for it is with her that all power resides. With the pomp and ceremony of ridiculous rituals and eccentric dance, characters from an over-sized chessboard come to life to conduct an interactive game, where no one knows what the rules are, and not everyone’s a winner.

Using archetypal characters and symbols and gesture, The Curious Game challenges the audience to become participants and interpret the Queen’s signs without discussion, but by thinking laterally and acting physically.

Performed and devised by Carolyn Hanna, Nick Papas, Penny Baron Born in a Taxi logo Commissioned by Arts Centre Melbourne

Without the service of animals, many more Australians would have lost their lives during times of war.

Here are the Top 10 Animal Recruits in War!
A is for Animals

The role of animals in war was influenced by

the place they were, events and developments in Technology.

“Animals are put to many uses in war. Sometimes they have jobs to do: the horses, camels, mules, and donkeys used to transport soldiers and equipment, as well as carrier pigeons and tracker dog with their special talents. Often animals are used as mascots and pets, or as symbols on badges and flags. A is for animals also looks at those unwelcome animals, such as insects, rats, and wild creatures, that make life in the field even more difficult and dangerous.

The book M is for Mate was put together as part of an exhibition at the Australian War Memorial: A is for Animals and was shortlisted for the 2010 Children’s Book Council,  Book of the Year – Eve Pownall Award.”

We have it in our library  – you can look for it by searching the library catalogue.

M is for Mates
