Book Week 2024
Reading is Magic
We will be celebrating Book Week in Term 3, Week 5, August 19-25. Book Week is an annual celebration of books for children and young adults. We celebrate a love of reading and all that books have to offer.
During our library lessons children have been completing a ‘Reading is Magic’ page for display in the library. They have drawn pictures of favourite book covers, characters, or scenes from a book. These will be on display in the library.
Book Character Parade
We will also be holding our Book Character Parade on Monday, 19th August.
Children are encouraged to come to school dressed as a book character and then a short parade will be held beginning at 9.10am.
We ask that children dress up in a costume that reflects a favourite character or someone that has inspired them. Costumes do not need to be elaborate, or store bought, if it is possible to use items from home. This is a fun day when children can enjoy ‘stepping into someone else’s shoes’.
Book Donating
Thank you to everyone who donated books to our library. Once again it was amazing how many books were donated, and I thank our school community for your generosity. Books will be loaned to the children who donated them in Week 5 and then will be available to all borrowers from week 6.
There is still a large range of books for donating to the library and if you would like your child to donate, please complete the form below and return to school.
We have a large range of new books available for donating and books range in price from $5 to $25.
The child who donates the new book will be the first one to borrow that book and a special book plate (sticker) with the child’s name will be placed in the front of the book. Over the years, many families have been very generous with donating, and this ensures our library is filled with beautiful books.
If you complete the form below and return it to school with your child/ren they will be invited to the library to select books that they will then be able to borrow first. Thank you.
Happy Reading
Mrs Vassila - Teacher Librarian
