Rosser Western Book Fair Pics!
Here are some fun photos of children who visited the Book Fair!
We managed to sell 128 books this year! What an accomplishment! I hope everyone was able to find a book to read this summer and continue their literacy learning they have done this term.

Library Book Return
Library
All library books are due back on Tuesday May 29th so there is plenty of time to organise all books back on the shelves and do a thorough and complete inventory. If you are unable to locate a library book, please send the money in a sealed envelope in order to replace it. Cheques are payable to Rosser School.
Many thanks for returning your library materials promptly!
Last Day of Reading Club
Hello to all Rosser Readers!
Our School Reading Club ends on Tuesday May 29th. Students who have completed the first four sheets and the front side of the fifth blue sheet will have their names placed on book plates in a book of their choice. The book plate honours their accomplishment of reading over 200 days this year. Congratulations to all participants!
Battle of the Books
Over the past few weeks, Ms Sansom’s class along with a few children from Mr Bach’s class have been participating in Battle of the Books. Each team was to collectively read 10 chosen books and retain as much detail as possible about each book they have read. Questions about the books are asked at random and each team must decide from which book the answer is from. Correct answers for each team were given a point.
A series of four battles took place, and at the end of the fourth battle our winning team won by a single point!
All the teams from Rosser who participated recognized valuable lessons through this series of events;
- The more students that read the books, the better chance you have
- It is a TEAM effort. Relying on only 1 key member is not always the best idea
- Communication is key. Listening is just as important.
- Paying attention to detail in a novel may help you develop a better understanding
- Good sportsmanship regardless of outcome is vital.
Last week our winning team at Rosser attended the District Final Battle of the Books. It was held at University Highland Elementary! The questions asked at the District final were particularly detailed and challenging, and the pace remained quick! Even I had difficulty remembering some!
Although we did not win the district final, our team of 5 did extremely well and we should all be very proud of their efforts! Well done team!
Snuggle Down
We had our first Snuggle Down at Rosser where buddies got together and were able to spend some time reading alongside, to or with each other.
Students brought favourite books from home or chose some from the library or classroom to read. The enjoyment in selecting your own reading material is so important for how children perceive and understand literacy and their willingness to pick up another book!
We also had a break to enjoy some hot chocolate!
Have a look at some photos from our Snuggle Down and read day.
