<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Maddy has written a book review as a Literacy task and has generously offered to shared it on our Library blog. After reading Maddy's review I have added this book to my list of must reads. When we share our love of books - we invite others on a wonderful adventure! </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Thank you Maddy.</span></span></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello bloggers! Last year I read an incredible book and it was so good that I thought I might share my review with everyone! The book is titled ‘<span style="color: red;">The Red Pyramid</span>’ by Rick Riordan.</span><span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span></blockquote>
<blockquote style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This book took me away from where I was. I forgot about everything else. This is a great one for those into adventure. It opened up a new way of looking at the world and made me think and wonder. Rick Riordan described every moment as if it was happening at that exact moment. It created pictures in my mind and I could see every moment. It inspired me, gave me ideas and kept me reading. It's really a page turner. I couldn't stop reading it. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you find this book anywhere, I really recommend it to you. Once you read this book, could you compare your opinion with mine?</span><span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span></blockquote>
<blockquote style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Did you enjoy it as much as I did?</span></blockquote>

<br />
Welcome back to the new year. We are very excited to welcome our new Preps to St. Luke's. The Preps have painted their portraits to help brighten up our Library. This year we are thinking of Dr. Seuss' wise words: 'The more that you read, the more you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go!' The Preps have made a great start to their school year and always come into the Library excited to read and share books. Dr. Seuss would be very proud!<br />
Students from all over the school have loved seeing the Prep's portraits and it is heartwarming to hear how much our students care for and welcome our precious Preps.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">After reading we used a great app on the iPad called <span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Chatter Pix</span> to record what we liked about each story. It was lots of FUN!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are Joshua, Sophie and Liam talking about these great books!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My Dad</span> by Anthony Browne</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
It is with great pleasure that I introduce our very first guest writer for our Library blog. Madeline in Senior MY has written a very informative piece about poet and writer Oodgeroo Noonuccal. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
See more of Madeline's work on her blog <a href="http://madelineb.global2.vic.edu.au/2014/03/14/13/">Meet Me (M@del!ne)</a></div>
</div>
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Oodgeroo Noonucca</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oodgeroo was born in 1920 and she was born on Stradbroke Island, (the
indigenous call it Minjerriba) Queensland. She was best known as a poet, although she was also an actress, a writer,
a teacher, an artist and a campaigner for Aboriginal rights.She left
school at the age of 13, and worked as a domestic servant until 1939. She
volunteered for service in the Australian Women’s Army Service. </span><br />
<pre><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: normal;">Oodgeroo
achieved national prominence as the Queensland State Secretary of the
Council for the Advancement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders
(CAATSI). She also achieved another prominence through her highly popular
poetry and writing. Oodgeroo became the first published Aboriginal woman
with her verses ‘We are going’ which sold out in three days.
Oodgeroo also wrote a lot of books for children – Father Sky and Mother
Earth (1981), Little Fella (1986), and The Rainbow Serpent (1988) with the
help of her son – Kabul Oodgeroo Noonuccal (Vivian). </span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: normal;">She was included in
‘Aboriginal rights’ organisations.
Oodgeroo was very young when she started poetry and in her late forties a
writer encouraged her to publish them. She kept writing and became
recognised all over the world. </span></pre>
<pre><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: normal;">In the 1960s, Oodgeroo campaigned for Aboriginal rights. Until then
Aboriginal Australians didn’t have the right to vote. Oodgeroo did
everything she could to create gender equality. She travelled across
Australia, giving as many as ten talks a day. The campaigning paid off
after fighting so hard. In 1967 the indigenous finally had the right to
vote.
Oodgeroo Noonuccal continued to fight for her rights. She travelled the
world, telling others about the dreadful conditions for the Torres Strait
Islanders. But she didn’t believe that people were listening to her. In her
frustration, she decided that she would go back to her favourite place –
Moongalba, (the Noonuccals call it this) which means ‘sitting down place.
It’s very sacred to them. But the Government said that they owned
Moongalba and Oodgeroo wasn’t allowed to build anything there. She wanted
to turn it into an Aboriginal museum.
She decided the only way that she could stay on her land, was to
camp there. Oodgeroo invited children, both black and white, and shared her
land with them and showed them the aboriginal ways. </span></pre>
<pre><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: normal;"> When Oodgeroo Noonuccal died, lots of people were upset, but that’s not
what she wanted. Oodgeroo wanted people to celebrate her achievements and
to continue working for a better future for the indigenous. Oodgeroo’s was
a role model for all Australians. Someone who strived for true respect and
understanding between both the white and black communities.</span></pre>
<pre><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: normal;">
</span></pre>
<pre><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: normal;">Thank you Madeline for a beautifully written and </span><span style="white-space: normal;">thoughtful Author study. Oodgeroo Noonuccal was a very talented and amazing woman. </span></span></pre>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Last term the Middle students were involved in a project to help answer their rich question - How does belonging to a community contribute to our well being? They visited our local Kindergarten and read to the preschoolers. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">How wonderful that our students were able to read and share stories with their Kinder friends and discover how to give to others in our </span>community in a fun and engaging way.<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">Below are some of the reflections that came to the Library blog - thank you to all the Middle students who sent a comment to the blog!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello,</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also had fun reading to the kinder kids. The kinder kids were so friendly and good at listening. I read 'There's a Hippopotamus On My Roof Eating Cake' and lots of others. Then I did some drawing and ate my brain food with them. I had lots of fun.</span></span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bridie.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Middle V</span></span><br />
