The last day for Library borrowing for the year will be on Friday 27^th November (Week 7). This will allow time for Library loans to be returned, a stocktake to be completed and organisation of resources for next year.

Please have a look around at home if you receive an overdue loans notice. We will ask that any book loans that are less than 12 months old be replaced or reimbursed.

Book Week Recount

Written By Kya Wood (3/4W)

Book Week this year was quite confusing yet fascinating at the same time. This year, Book Week was spread over two weeks. My school hosted many fun activities including, dressing up and entering a parade, baking cupcakes and attending the Mad Hatter Tea Party. Now that was fun!

On Friday we had the Book Parade. The Book Parade is where you dress up as a character from a book. You parade with your class and show yourselves to the rest of the school. This year, I dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood, but I wasn’t the only one with the cool costume. Mrs. Tarleton was! She dressed up as the Queen of Hearts, which I think is pretty cool. Oh, and Mrs. Reid dressed as the White Rabbit and she really got into character!

The following Monday was the Cake Stall. Year 5/6 baked all the cake and brought them in for the students to eat. I didn’t bring in any money, but Mrs. Ogden is such a nice person, she lent me $2!! Each cake was decorated with a book theme. I chose the cake based off the book, The Tale of Magic. It was quite tasteful, but it did make me sick. I guess some actions have consequences!!

On Thursday, we had the Mad Hatter Tea Party. At the party we had popcorn and poppers and we read to the Kindy’s. We also went on a scavenger hunt and made 

nature art. Nature art is where you create something out of sticks, leaves, flowers and more. I thought it was fun. I was one of the lucky ones because I got to do it all again with Year 2. During the Mad Hatter Tea Party, I learnt that I have a lot in common with other people.

To sum up Book Week, this year was really enjoyable. Even though there were a couple of challenging parts, I got through them. I loved all the activities, but my favourite part by far was the Book Parade.
