Library

Here at Whiteley Primary School our library area is in the centre of the school and is divided into a Fiction area and a Non Fiction area.

Children start to use the library when they join us in Reception. At this early stage they arrive with their class teacher and assistant and borrow one book that they have on loan for three weeks. As the children progress through the school they learn how to use the Reading Cloud Program to issue and return their own books. Reception classes through to Year 4 have a regular timetabled slot during which time they exchange their books and learn library skills.

Library Lunch time slots

The children from years 2 to 6 have the opportunity to visit the library during lunch time on a set day. This is shown on the board at lunch time.

Monday – Year 6

Tuesday – Year 5

Wednesday – Year 4

Thursday – Year 3
