Library Books and Readers
It's that time of the year that we are looking for the return of all library books and readers.
If you have any lying around please return them to the library by the end of Week 7 (24 November).
Churton Park Poetry Competition
Poems were submitted, local children's author and guest judge Elaine Bickell made her decisions, and last Friday the "Share & Celebrate" event was held at which the winners were announced.
If you want to know who, then take a few minutes to read the Poetry Competition article.
Congratulations to all the winners and a huge thank you to all of the tamariki for taking the time to craft their contributions and being prepared to submit them. Also a grateful thanks to Elaine for providing her time and expertise, and to the Churton Park Community Association for sponsoring the prizes.
