Posted on May 17, 2018 by | Leave a comment

After watching the grade 6s & 7s compete in their Battle of the Books, divs 8 & 9 were inspired to have their own battle. After weeks of reading and developing questions, we met with Mrs. Roberts in the library and battled! 
Congratulations to everyone on their hard work!

Primary Battle of the Books!

Posted on May 15, 2018 by | Leave a comment

We are a week away from our very own Battle of the Books ~ Primary Style!
After watching the intermediates so impressively answer questions during their battle, I can’t wait to meet with Mrs. Roberts in the library and battle ourselves!

I hope everyone has created some challenging questions and is continuing to read and get to know the books as well as they can. Happy Reading!
