READ AND SHARE: A BOOK IS TRAVELLING IN THE SCHOOL YARD
Today we have started our ambitious project called 'READ AND SHARE: A BOOK IS TRAVELLING'
We have put the classic book 'Emma' by Jane Austin -a simplified edition for children- outside the school's library in a kind of free little lending library.We have written a note to the reader who takes the book at home to read and ask him/her to return the book as soon as he/she reads it and put it back to the same place, so that another reader reads it next.A surprise, a little poem that we liked about books, awaits the reader on the last page!We were really amazed to see that the book was taken, as soon as we put it there , by a bookworm!
We wish our book fair winds and following seas!
These are the notes we wrote on the first and last pages.
This is where we originally put our book, outside the school's library, just above a bench where students often sit and chat!
Curious students approach...
And finally, after 10 minutes....

OUR GREAT LITTLE OUTDOOR LIBRARY!
The READ AND SHARE eTwinning team started preparing our little free outdoor library with English books.Our plan was to put it at some place in the school yard.We wanted students to create it, so we co-operated with Mrs Dimoulia, our Technology teacher, who gave us a little old wooden house students created. The house was strong enough to hold books, so we thought of using it after painting and decorating it. We agreed to paint it blue , Iliana stuck shells on it , Galini decorated it with the boat she made and painted the ETwinning logo on it. We also contacted various publishing houses and asked them to send us Readers to enrich our Library.Burlington Books and Express Publishing have kindly offered us many Readers for our Library.We would like to thank them!
Our Library with its boat are finally ready to take us to faraway places and .... we are so enthusiastic and proud of it ! We cherish these images ! Thanks ETwinning for offering us these unforgettable moments !
