The Legend of the Golden Snail is another beautifully whimsical book by Graeme Base. To me it has a feel of an earlier book written by him “The Sign of the Seahorse” but it still quite different and worth a read.

Read the The Legend of the Golden Snail reviewed on READPLUS by Pat Pledger.
Over the last few years I have collected many weblinks that relate to the Units of Inquiry, online learning, PYP, languages, ICT and Web2.o just to name a few areas.
Recently I have started to use Diijo. I find that it is wonderful for the community aspect make it a valauable PLN tool. This is my profile of Diijo.

BOOK WEEK, SHORTLISTED BOOKS, READING, BOOK DISPLAYS…. BOOK FAIR, “THE GREAT BOOK SWAP’ …. STUDENT INQUIRY, STUDENT LED CONFERENCES… PYP EXHIBITION and lots more. What a term!
See what we have been up to in the JS Library this term @ Term 3 .
N.B. If you click on a photo you can see it will ‘pop out’ and you can view it in a larger size.
This week we will be gathering books that are donated by the students and having a book swap to raise funds for
The Great Book Swap.
Students will bring in books that are no longer using from home and ‘purchase’ a pre-loved book that someone else has donated. Students then give a gold coin and select a book from the available books.
Tomorrow Indigenous Literacy Day is celebrated so hopefully we can add to the celebrations with the money that we raise.
Check out The Indigenous Literacy Project site.
Stay tuned for updates soon.
