Book Week!

Book Week: Friday, August 16 to Friday, August 23 

Book Week is upon us and our first author, Jane Godwin, visited earlier in the week and enthralled the Foundation classes with her presentation about the inspiration for her books and how she collaborates with her illustrator. She read two of her books with the final fun activity having the kids draw and name a bear with some interesting results. 

Further author visits for the week are as follows:
