Whare Mataurangi - Going on a Treasure Hunt in our School Library...

Our school library has had a few changes since the end of last year.  Our Non-Fiction and Junior Non-Fiction areas have always been organised under big headings like Minibeasts, Planet Earth and Work it Last year students at Rāwhiti School helped to create signage for our Non-Fiction areas.

At the end of last year we changed our Fiction, Graphic Novel and Senior-Fiction areas to be grouped together by form/genre.  Services to Schools had a great article on Genrefication for these areas.

Students at Rāwhiti School helped to decide where books would go because so many books could go into a few categories.  Students in Tangaroa helped to create the new signage.  This was such a massive job to sort every book and the library did look chaotic!

Today a group of students from Haumia-tiketike (Ata Hāpara) came in and completed a treasure hunt their Kaiako had prepared for them.  What a great way to explore all the different areas of our library space!
