MOPS Library

Starting out a new year in the library by reactivating our Twitter account and showing off the amazing new mural in our corridor - a gift from year 6 2021! @MountOusley @SusieHamers

Our K-2 students have made their predictions for the Early Childhood section of this year’s Book Week. Bat vs Poss for the win, My Friend Fred and One Runaway Rabbit as Honour books. Let’s see how close they are! @TheCBCA @MountOusley

Stages 2 and 3 continued their study of shortlisted Book Week texts. Students used toy soldiers, lego and printed backdrops to create their own tableaux, then photographed and edited them on iPads. @MountOusley @TiffanySinton #everyonecancreate

@paulajamieson @MountOusley Absolutely! cbca.org.au/shortlist-2020 K-2 students are looking at the Early Childhood list and 3-6 students at the Picture Book list.

@MopsBooks @MountOusley Such gorgeous books, any chance you have a link to the shortlisted booklist? I love the ‘create your own illustration’ idea too 🥰

This week’s #playmakecreate activity was for the shortlisted Book Week title, “Goodbye House, Hello House.” Students used recycled materials to create their own illustration, based on Ann James’ technique. @MountOusley @paulajamieson

“Three was thankful for everything.” Students responded to this Book Week book by making origami gratitude boxes to fill with our own thankful messages. #PlayMakeCreate @MountOusley @paulajamieson

When Book Week meets #PlayMakeCreate - our year 3-6 students created creatures out of modelling clay in response to the picture book, “I need a parrot.” @MountOusley @paulajamieson @TheCBCA

Starting some activities for Book Week #CBCA2020: juniors making paddle pop stick puppets and seniors making a “first look” judgement of the picture book category. (Early leaders are “The Good Son” and “Three”.) @MountOusley @TiffanySinton

Beginning Book Week activities with a Play Make Create session on “Where the Wild Things Are”. A fun way to introduce the “Curious Creatures, Wild Minds” theme : making a forest for Max! @MountOusley @TiffanySinton @paulajamieson @MrsAMOPS

We're finally starting to use our library again, so we thought it was time for a bit of a publicity campaign to remind everyone how cool it is! Here is the first of our ads, made by two year 5 students. @MountOusley @TiffanySinton

Creating a scarf for our own “Twig”, based on the book by Aura Parker. Imaginative learning with picture books is so much fun! #PlayMakeCreate @MountOusley @TiffanySinton @SusieHamers @paulajamieson @MrsAMOPS

Enjoyed compiling this video, showing what @MountOusley students think about what the concept of welcome looks like, during #RefugeeWeek2020 #RefugeesWelcome youtube.com/watch?v=Z2DJ0_…

Since we can't be together in the library right now, here is a presentation of an Anzac Day picture book! youtu.be/yy_PQ6QWevk @MountOusley @TiffanySinton

Ready for another year in the library! Preparing for the first week of borrowing by making some book recommendations! @MountOusley

Observing Remembrance Day with handmade messages of thanks to soldiers past and present. #ww1centenary #LestWeForget @MountOusley @TiffanySinton

Stage 1 designed and made a pen holder so that Rodney wouldn’t lose his pen again! @MrsAMOPS @MountOusley

@MissBrule34 You all looked amazing!

Book Week! Let’s go!

A great day of Book Week activities! "Find Your Treasure 2018" @MountOusley @TiffanySinton @MissBrule34 @DuncanTeach @MrsAMOPS tinyurl.com/y9jxlrm9

A new term, a new perspective. Amazing what a difference it makes when you open the blinds! Beginning our Book Week term with a leafy view to treasure!

Which section of the library earned the “Golden Words Award” today? Stage 3 groups argued their case in front of some stage 2 judges. The winner? Graphic Novels! @MountOusley @MissSinton @laurataller1 @MissBrule34
