In the Library we have created a Rugby World Cup display. Students can check the draw and record the scores of all the games. They can learn something about each country, their flag and the colour/s of the rugby players’ jerseys. The display also holds information on the Webb Ellis Cup, great Past All Blacks and the history of the game. The students can play a game of ‘Ruggerland’ during their lunch break.
Once a week throughout the duration of the competition the library will run a Newspaper Scavenger Hunt, have various quizzes and other fun activities. Above show two participants in the Newspaper Scavenger Hunt - it was fun and their was great team work! Chocolate prizes and rugby pencils were well received by the winning team. Teams had 15 minutes to find answers in the newspaper - two teams finished well within the time allowed.
