During Education Week we will be seeking book donations for our school library. We are seeking
· simple early readers,
· picture books and
· simple chapter books,
· non fiction children's books.
Please send them in a bag with a note in your child's communication book.
On Thursday 9th August we will be holding a book parade as part of our Education Week events so we ask that students come to school dressed up as their favourite book character. All students will be part of the book parade for our parent and community visitors. If your child has a copy of the book that their character comes from, they may wish to bring this in on the day of the parade to share with their class. Book prizes will be awarded for the best dressed book characters in A Block, B Block, C Block, D Block and Demountables. We hope to see some fantastic book character costumes on this day!
Book Donations can be sent in any day
We are also having a student/sibling colouring in competition to be returned by Thursday 9th August.
