Week 7 this term is Book Week & students are busy in the Library enjoying the
shortlisted books that have qualified for the Children's Book Council annual awards. They are on
display in the library if you would like to see them.
Every alternate year we have a book parade when children "dress up" as a favourite book character.
Thursday 27th August is Parade Day and you are invited to share the fun with us. Ideas for dress up
characters are also available in the library but remember simple is usually the best. Start
planning NOW!
N.B. The book parade will take place 11.45-12.45 on Thursday the 27th of August. All children Kindergarten to Year 6 are involved. Call into the library or scan your own book shelves for ideas.
During Book Week we will be combining some activities to raise funds for the Nepal Earthquake
Appeal. Mr Allan will be visiting school to tell of his first hand experiences in Nepal & ways we
can help.
Thank you to the many visitors who attended our Education Week Open Day & Book Fair last week. We had record sales & profit reached $1200 which will be used to purchase more books for the library. An even happier outcome though was to have three year 4 boys rush into the Library on Friday morning to report on the books they had purchased. They had all read 5 or 6 chapters of some exciting novels. Congratulations Adam Bennett, Connor Watson and Tyler Gatherer! I look forward to hearing how their stories end.
