Book Club

Book Club students, please remember to bring the books you are reading for this term to the meetings. Be prepared to discuss the main characters and a problem you see developing in your book.
The book we have chosen to read as a group the third term (after Easter break) is Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Please let me know if you need me to order a copy for you

Student Research
There is a lot of research happening in the Junior school right now. A tool to help with research that St Dominic´s provides for students is a data base of online information resources called Ebsco Host. This can be accessed on the internet from any location. While primarily geared for older students, both year 5 and year 6 students might find it useful especially for current event topics.
