This term in the library, we have had big fun with our Book Week Celebrations.  The theme for 2019 was ‘Reading is my Secret Power’

Over a five-week period the 2019 shortlisted books were unpacked, read and involved in lots of art and craft activities. Voting for our favourite books took place and many discussions were held. We actually got a 50% success rate with our selections for the 2019 winning books.

The Book Week Parade was fantastic and 98% of the children were involved. We clapped, paraded and danced around for almost two hours. The parent support was also very impressive – thank you all, we love Book Week.

Also included in the Book Week Celebrations was a fantastic whole school performance entitled ‘Big Dreams’. The production was put together by a company in Melbourne and focused on the shortlisted books. It was a huge success across all grades.

To finish the celebrations and to tie in with Grandparents’ Day we had our biannual Book Fair. The Book Fair fair was held over three days and raised over $1200 for our school.

God Bless,
