Book Day - 20th August

Book Week is fast approaching. To celebrate we are having our school Book Day on Tuesday 20th August. On this day children can come to school dressed up as a book character from one of their favourite books or come as something related to the theme ‘Reading is Magic.’ We will have a Book Parade at 9am and parents are most welcome to watch. Children will then rotate around a variety of activities in the morning led by our Year 5/6 students. In the afternoon the whole school will watch a live performance "Maybe a Miracle" presented by Perform Education. 

More details about Book Day will be in next week's Newsletter.

As mentioned in last week's Newsletter, this year’s Book Week theme is ‘Reading is Magic.’ This is a certainly a great theme as it reminds us that reading really is magic as it can take you to other worlds, allow you to explore new ideas, and even help you understand a different person. Once read, our favourite books retain their magic. This is especially true for treasured books that we hold onto as mementos. 

Dressing up is meant to be fun and children are encouraged to use what they already have at home available to them. See the attachment below for some magical ideas that are easy to recreate with items found in the home. Involve your children in creating their costume and encourage them to let their imaginations soar and remember that the most magical costumes are those that come from the heart.

Reading Challenge - Only 4 weeks left

This is a reminder that the Reading Challenge concludes in 4 weeks on 6th September. After this date, you will no longer be able to add in more books.

 Congratulations to all the children who have successfully completed the Challenge so far.
