Library skills
 |
| Every class has a library time each week. During this session we work on library tasks to familiarise ourselves with different areas of the library. Our school values - 'Care, Respect and Honesty' are clearly visible when we work with others moving around the library. Soon we will be looking closely at the non fiction books in the library so be sure to familiarise yourself with the 'Dewy system rap' and 'Bob the Alien'. |

Bob the Alien Discovers the Dewey Decimal System
Melvil Dewey was a librarian who lived from 1851 to 1931. He was so unhappy with the way the books were NOT organised in his library that he created the Dewey Decimal System.
The Dewy Decimal system breaks the non-fiction books up into different subjects, assigning a range of numbers to specific subjects. Each book is labelled with a specific call number according to it's subject, so when items are put on the shelves in Dewey Decimal order, all the books on one subject will be together. This makes it easier for us to organise the shelves and for you to find individual books when you need them. If you want a book about dinosaurs, you will find all the books about dinosaurs in the same area on the shelves, regardless of who the author is.
