BOOK WEEK

“Reading is dreaming with eyes open”.

It certainly was a dream last week with lots of excitement around books. The children enthusiastically participated in the picnic reading led by Year 5 and 6, I spy, Disney day, our author visit and the book character parade.

Picnic Reading

Our Year 5 and 6 leaders shared their love of reading with the school. It was a magnificent sight, children gathered around a book, sitting on a picnic rug, enjoying a book. Special thanks to Year 5 and 6 students for this experience.

Author visit- Amelia McInerney

We were privileged to have Amelia visit our school and share her expertise of writing and creating stories.

She nurtured the hearts of our Kinder, Year One and Year To students with book readings of her picture books and reenactments of her tales. Amelia inspired the minds and writing of our Year Three, Four, Five and Six students.

Some of Amelia’s tips:

Use a journal and write every day. Turn everyday ideas into a story. These become a kernel of truth story. Get excited about ONE idea. Have faith in your ideas. Use your senses to create a text.

Snuggle up and Read

An enjoyable evening was had by families snuggling up with a good book in the library after dark. Some families even braved the crisp, cool air to read outdoors. Thank you for your attendance.

Book Character Parade

The children looked fabulous and thoroughly enjoyed parading in character. Thank you families for your contributions to the costumes.

The week was a great success and the children’s love of books was well and truly alive.
