Book review - Lord Sunday by Garth Nix


If you are in the middle of the Keys to the Kingdom series by Garth Nix, listening to this book review will be a bit like skipping to the last page. Lord Sunday is the last book in the series taking the reader on the final action-packed adventure, you may be inspired to read the story from the beginning.

Book review - Roderick rules by Jeff Kinney



In 1998 Jeff came up with the idea for Diary of a Wimpy Kid, a story about a middle-school weakling named Greg Heffley. Jeff worked on his book for almost eight years before showing it to a publisher in New York. (Source : Wimpy Kid Official Website http://bit.ly/SDBmzL )

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series is popular and is rarely on the shelves for very long. Jeff Kinney has definitely got readers enjoying the escapades of Greg. Roderick Rules doesn't disappoint.

Staff morning tea

It has become an annual event as this is the third time we have hosted a morning tea for staff. We endeavour to offer an inviting and tasty spread, and the usual favourites were to be found. Cheeseboards, fruit, sandwiches, cake, fudge slice, crackers and dip, sliced meat are some of what can be seen on the table. We hope it was an opportunity to enjoy our hospitality during this busy period.
