Waterloo School Library Blog

We are very lucky to have a lot of wonderful books to choose from in our school library.  Many kids are not so fortunate...the photo above shows a stack of boxes containing donated books from school libraries and families, and these are going to be sailing their way over to Tonga in the new year.  The box at the top has been donated by Waterloo School - all fantastic books that will provide enjoyment and information to other kids just like you :)  

Over the last week I have read a story to the classes called 'Little Mouse's Big Secret'.  Basically, mouse finds an apple and decides to hide it - he buries it in the ground and in time it grows into an apple tree.  Which lead us to wonder....if you put an apple in the ground, just plonk it in....will it grow?  Some of us are going to test this out.  We will either wind up with smelly old apples rotting away in the ground.  OR we will end up with apple trees! See the above picture for how I decided to plant my apple.  In a pot, away from the dog.  Who found it anyway and removed it from the pot.  No fear, the apple is back safely, and away from the dog :)
