A huge thank you again to coach Kristy Dolbel. iLearn What a fabulous time our Year 6 students had at Kelso High

all about. The students participated in a music, science and

LIBRARY NEWS

Book Review by Jac Cochrane The Deltora Quest Graphic Novels by Emily Rodda. These are the best books, I did not want to put them down! I’ve even asked my mum to get them for me. I really like the style of the graphic arts in the story. The style is manga and it is Japanese. There is also a DVD series. The novels are adventures about good versing evil and returning stolen gems so peace can be restored in the land. I would give it 5 out of 5 stars, they are my favourite books.
