 * Hi All,

We will try to make up for the lost meeting at our next one, so come prepared to tell the group about the book that you are reading at the moment and if you would recommend it.

Last year we had an end of year shared lunch. It was a lot of fun. We will talk at our next meeting if and when we will do this again.

Also Year 8 group you need to make your final arrangements for the fund raising "cake stall" yo decided to hold on Pets day.

Our next meetings are Thursday 6 November 2008@ 12.45 in the Library for year 7and 8, and Friday 7 November 2008@ 12.45 in the Library for year 6.

See you there and happy reading, Nicola**

= = = Newsletter 10 (2008) = = = =HI All,= = Welcome to term 4. This is a really busy term so I hope that we do manage to fit in a few book club meetings before the end of the year. Let me know at our meeting when you will be able to make it and we can talk about whether we want to have another end of year lunch. = I highly recommend that you have a look at the wiki if you are searching for ideas for good book. Mrs Sachdeva has a page of the books she is recommending. I have been using it myself! At our next meeting bring the book you are reading at the moment so that we can talk about what you are enjoying and if you would recommend it to others. The year 8 group has talked about fundraising for some more young adult books for the Library. If you want to do that you will need to finalise your plans. So come along with some ideas. I am happy to help. Our next meetings will be year 7&8: 29 October 2008 @12.45pm in the Library, Year 6: October 30, 2008 @ 12.45 in the Library. See you then, and happy reading Nicola.

=Newsletter 9 (2008)= Hi everyone, As I reported last time our wiki space is up and running. Go to Bookworld-Preb.wikispaces.com for a look. Alice is happy to help if you don’t know how to access the site. It would be great if we could get every one signed up as a member. Let’s make the site as interesting as we can. At the Thursday meeting several people agreed to write book reviews for the site. We will talk next time about what should/could be in a good book review. We had a small (but fun) meeting of the year 6 group. Hopefully we won’t have too many clashes between book group and sport. We talked about extending our reading. We used the Christchurch City Council Libraries web site to give us ideas for some authors we might like to try if we were enjoying a certain author. I brought some examples of authors that you might like to try if you liked J K Rowling. To use the site go to library.christchurch.org.nz/kids/ifyoulike. Our next meetings will be in the Library on Thursday 28/8/08 at 12.45pm, and Friday 29/8/08 at 12.45pm. See you there, and happy reading, Nicola
