Book Week Celebrations

Got a Costume Planned?

On Tuesday 22 August FPS will celebrate Book Week – books, reading, and Australian children’s authors and illustrators. The theme this year is READ, GROW, INSPIRE'.

All students and staff are invited to come to school dressed as a favourite book character and/or bring in a favourite book.

Activities for the Day

Book Character Parade – 9:15am, on the blue sports court

The whole school will gather on the sports court (weather permitting) from 9.15am, and the Year 6 leaders will MC the parade. Parents are welcome to join us at this time!

If it is wet, the parade will be split into two sessions and held in the gym. (The Foundation – Year 2 parade will be from 9:15 to 9:45am. The Years 3 – 6 parade from 9:45 to 10:15am).

Cross-age Activities: 11:15am – 12:30pm

After recess, students will be placed into groups with a mix of children from Foundation to Year 6 in each group. Teachers will use one of the shortlisted books as inspiration for an activity with their group. Students will return to their regular classroom for lunch.

We are excited to celebrate the joy of reading on this day and look forward to seeing many costumes inspired by favourite books!
