On this page you will find lots of things to do with books. There are suggestions of activities to do and if you've run out of books to read, there are links here to take you to a world of on-line books.

Reading Journal
Creating a Reading Journal is a fun and creative way to keep a record of all the wonderful books you have read. It can also give inspiration to others when they are looking for something new to read.
Inside, you can include information about the books you've read as well as pictures you have drawn or other artwork inspired by the book. You could even research some information about the author and put that in.
Take a picture of any journal pages that you create and send them to your class e-mail. Don't forget to ask your teacher to pass the pictures on to Mrs Mather, she would love to see them!
A book in a jar or a book in a box
Remember all of those keyboards and guitars stored in the library? They've all gone, so now there is some space to display your book-related creativity. Why not create a scene from a book in either a box or a jar? Here are a few ideas.
Take a picture of anything you create and send it to your class e-mail. Don't forget to remind your teacher to send it on to Mrs Mather. She would love to see what you have been creating.
