Children are invited to visit their local library and embark on a magical adventure to become a Quest seeker. There are three exciting stages in the quest to find the golden book and as a Quest seeker, children will get a cool membership card, fold out poster, stickers and the chance to borrow some great books.
It's all free, so start the adventure today! If you're not already a library member it's free and simple to join. For details of your nearest library, visit www.library.norfolk.gov.uk. 
Following on from MI 118 09, the completion of the questionnaire is entirely voluntary but we very much want to hear views from all categories of staff in schools, including headteachers, and would therefore appreciate your cooperation in publicising this across your school and also by enabling your staff to access this online survey. Schools staff will be made aware of this survey via a message on their June pay slips.
The survey is very brief and will take only a few minutes to complete and staff need only answer the questions in sections relevant to their role. It will, however, provide us with important information about how Norfolk schools are continuning to implement the National Workload Agreement and what more needs to be done to support the whole school workforce and in turn the pupils they work with.
If you have any queries or need more information please contact Peter Simmonds on 07795 265669 or Virgina Wakely on 01603 638092. 
Anti-Bullying Week 2009: Schools CompetitionsThis year Anti-Bullying Week will be 16-20 November, and the theme is Cyberbullying. The Anti-Bullying Alliance will be using a 'fuzzy' (logo bug) to spread awareness of cyberbullying, and are running two competitions to help design the 'fuzzy'.
Key Stage 2 children are invited to come up with a design and colour scheme for the 'fuzzy', and Key Stage 3 and 4 pupils are being asked to think of a catchy slogan to help raise awareness of cyberbullying. The tasks present an opportunity to talk about the issues. The best designs will be used in Anti-Bullying Week and the winning school will get 500 free fuzzies. Both competitions are open until 5pm on 20 July 2009.
