Book Week 2025 – Tuesday, 5th August
‘Book An Adventure’
This year we will be celebrating Book Week in Term 3, Week 3, (Tuesday, 5 August). Book Week is an annual celebration of books for children and young adults. We celebrate a love of reading and all that books have to offer. The theme for this year’s book week is ‘Book An Adventure’ and we will be talking in library about the adventures of reading and the adventures books can take us on.
During our library lessons children have completed a ‘Book An Adventure’ page for display in the library. They have drawn pictures of their favourite book covers, characters, or scenes from a book. These will be on display in the library.
Book Character Parade – Tuesday, 5 August (Week 3)
On this day children are encouraged to come to school dressed as a book character. The parade will begin at 9.15am.
We ask that children dress up in a simple costume that reflects a favourite book/story character. Costumes do not need to be elaborate, or store bought, and, if it is possible can just be made by using items from home. This is a fun day when children can enjoy ‘stepping into someone else’s shoes’.
Book Donating
We will also be having book donating on this day.
We will have a large range of new books available for donating to our library. Visitors will be most welcome to come to the library with their child/ren to select a new book to donate back to the library. There will be a large selection of new books for donation, and books will range in price from $5 to $25.
The child who donates the new book will be the first one to borrow that book and a special book plate (sticker) with the child’s name will be placed in the front of the book. Over the years, many families have been very generous with donating, and this ensures our library is filled with beautiful books.
If you are unable to come on the day but would still like to donate, please complete the form below and return it to school with your child/ren. Your child/ren will be invited to the library to select books that they will then be able to borrow first.
It would be wonderful to see parents at our parade, in the library to look at the students displays and to donate a book.
Thank you.
