Mr McCallum here, coming to you from my bubble. So school has started back and it all seems a bit different but I'm still here working in our virtual library. I always try to make the library a fun place that you all want to come to and our virtual library is no different.<br />
<br />
Over the next few weeks I'm going to be posting fun activities that you can do at home, some competitions that you can enter in your bubble (with a promise of prizes when we're all back in the physical library), and lots of great booky videos for you to enjoy.<br />

One of the things I've been really enjoying during lockdown is learning how to draw lots of different book characters. There are heaps of great illustrators who are making 'how to draw' videos and I'll be sharing these on the blog soon.<br />

She's the illustrator of Morris the Mankiest Monster and Grumpycorn and created The Legend of Kevin and Pugs of the Frozen North with author Philip Reeve. I've been learning how to draw some of her characters through the step-by-step instructions on her website and her #drawingwithsarah videos on YouTube.<br />
<br />
Here are some of my versions of her characters:<br />

I would recommend this book to all the keen dancers out there. This book certainly taught me about dance. Every page is full of facts about different dances, from Irish to Hip Hop and Ballet. I seriously LOVE this book!<br />

I would really recommend this book to people who love ballet. In this book Summer tries to get a scholarship to a new dance school but insists on taking on a new diet as well. Summer ends up taking the wrong pathway to ballet life. This is from the Chocolate Box Girls series.<br />

We shared some spooky picture books, made some creepy masks and eyeball bookmarks and we also had a teddy sleepover. The kids who came along brought a special friend who then stayed over night in the library.<br />
<br />
Here are just some of the things they got up to last night:<br />

They came to talk to us about the Rugby League World Cup, which is being held in Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea in November this year. They even brought the actual Rugby League World Cup trophy with them to show us. We took lots of photos with the cup and some lucky kids won wrist bands.<br />
