Books Needed - Lyttelton Primary School Book Fair
Lyttelton Primary School is now collecting books for its big Book Fair.
Are witches lurking in the lounge?
Historical characters in the bedroom?
Bill Bryson in the basement?
We would love them all!
Donation of all books (adult and children’s fiction/non-fiction) can be left at the school’s reception any time from now between the hours of 8.30am-4.00pm.
And remember to mark your diaries for Saturday 7 November: 9.00am-1.00pm.
All funds raised go towards Lyttelton Primary School’s library. That means hundreds of new books to spark and feed the minds of kids in our community.
Can’t wait to see you there!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
