Library News
What a busy start back to term we have had!! We have had lots of excitement and enthusiasm from the year 7! Of the 458 books borrowed in the first 4 weeks of term, 193 were from year 7!! Way to go Year7! 

We have had each Year 7 tutor group come and visit the library for an induction and we have also visited during assemblies for year 7 and 8 to let students know about how to log onto ePlatform, our eBook and Audiobook platform. 

Here’s a quick recap on how to get logged onto ePlatform from iPads:
· Go to your app store: 
· At the top left click ‘My resources’ (if list of resources doesn’t show)
· Scroll down the alphabetical list at press ‘get’ on ePlatform: 
  (this will automatically load on the iPad home screen)
· Once installed, click on the ePlatform icon
· Click ‘add new library’
· Type in ‘Helston’ and press enter. It should pop up underneath. Click on it.
· Click ‘sign in using Helston Community College’
· Sign in using your school email address and password
· It will ask if you want to stay signed in: tick the ‘don’t show this again’ box and answer ‘yes’ if it is your iPad.
· ePlatform will now be fully available to use and you will not need to sign in again, it will automatically recognise you.

We are also starting up our library competitions again. Before half term we are running a Library Halloween Hunt. Those who get the correct answers to the clues found in the library will be in for a prize draw. After half term, we will be running an all-school competition. The tutor group with the highest number of physical books taken out will be able to have Beatrice the Library Chick in their tutor room the following week. And we are running a book competition for the Year 7 tutor groups. The year 7 tutor group with the most books taken from the library from after October half term to Christmas break will win a prize. Keep your eye out for more details to come in through tutors.

Thanks everyone for their kindness and support through this busy first half term.
Happy Reading,
