Literacy

"You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, all you need is a book." 

- (Dr Seuss)

Epsom will be celebrating Book Week on Thursday, 25th August - Time TBC

 

What is Book Week?

It's a celebration of books and Australian children's authors and illustrators. The 2022 CBCA Book Week takes place in August and the theme is Dreaming With Eyes Open.

 

What do we need to do?

The whole school community come to school dressed up as their favourite book character. You can even bring your favourite book to school with you! 

Remember! The more creative, the Better

What is this year's theme?

Dreaming with Eyes Open is this year’s theme. It is about stepping into your own story. It invokes thoughts of ancient times, and of listening to Country as the first storyteller. You can, of course, adapt it to your dreams and future ambitions. 

 

What else is happening?

To conclude our Book Week celebrations, all Prep, Year 1 and Year 2 students will be attending a special presentation by Perform Education called ‘Story Quest’ on Monday 29th August.

 

Mighty Morphology!

This term, the Grades 3-6 are diving into Morphology. The study of words and their parts!

We are so excited to be experimenting with words and the kids are LOVING IT! 

 

Library - Term 3

Our school Library is NOW open for borrowing! 

We are absolutely thrilled to see so many students getting excited about what books they want to borrow next. The timetable is below to see when your child has library.
