Book Week Parade
We will end our Book Week celebrations on Friday 28th at 9:00 am with a Symphony of Stories Dress Up Parade.
Parents, grandparents and family members are welcome -you might even want to get dressed up and join our parade :)
This year's theme encourages costumes that not only connect to a favourite story but also a musical instrument or a song - they tell stories too!
