I Spy....something new!

The I Spy collection of books by Jean Marzollo and Walker Wick have always been super popular, and now we have more to add to the mix! 

These are great for learning about word sounds, while enjoying hunting for the objects in the photos.

Look for them in the Beginner Reader section in the Picture Books.

Check out the Scholastic website for I Spy games!

Thank you Room 6 for sharing this with me. 

Have a look for this book in our library in the D part of the picture book section!

New Flag? Part 2

The referendum* on the the New Zealand flag still has another bit to go. 

First, everyone decided which of the possible alternative flags most voters preferred. The next step will be to decide if we want to change to that flag, or keep the old one. There will be a referendum in March where every adult who is allowed to vote will be able to cast their vote for which flag they prefer.

Come and have a look in the library for the stories behind both of them, and see them in full flight below!.

Which one do you like best?

*A referendum is a public vote on a particular issue.
