For the record..Vinyl Club in the library, Friday lunch

Every Friday I will be spinning some classic albums in the library at lunchtime. Listening to records is a great way to relax and learn about music from other decades. Today we had best of the Beatles 1967-1970. Feel free to bring in a record to play. Just talk to Ms O'Shea in the library.

Ancient Greek History

Some of our year 5 students have recently finished a topic on Ancient Greek History and it prompted me to see what books in the library we have for further reading on this topic. The Ancient Greeks were famous for their mythology and three library titles featuring myths caught my eye. These books provide an easy way of introducing children to classics.

1) Mythology: The Gods, Heroes and Monsters of Ancient Greece
2) Myths and Legends by Anthony Horowitz
3) Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief
