Weekly trivia questions will be sent out via PAC emails and announced at the school each Monday. All students can enter the trivia questions for chances to win library prizes on the Friday of each week. Students will be able to find the iguana from the book, Fred, hidden around the school at snack recess each day.
Below, you will find audio recordings of each chapter, read by Cheam staff. Pay attention to each chapter to see if you can figure out which staff member is reading. There are also various activities that you could do as a family, entitled "Nim's Island Activities" "Nim's Island Novel Study" and "Nim's Educational Guide". We hope you have a wonderful time embarking on a quest to Nim's Island with us at Cheam Elementary!
