Library News

Dear Parents,

Lots of excited visitors to the Book Fair this week! A big thanks to everyone for your support, enthusiasm and purchases. We've had lots of sales and credit generated for our school (update to follow). The Lucky Lolly Jar Competition has been a hit and the kids are thrilled with their new books.

BOOK WEEK

Book Week 2024 runs from August 17th - 23rd. All classes have been reading and exploring a number of the shortlisted books and our senior students have been participating in Shadow Judging, by sharing their responses with the CBCA judges to assist them in selecting Book of the Year. We will be sharing some of our work once it's completed.

SJV students will celebrate Book Week in WEEK 6 by participating in a number of fun and engaging literacy based activities about the selected books. We will finish up with our much loved dress up parade on THURSDAY 22nd AUGUST at 9:00 am.

The theme this year is READING IS MAGIC. Students are invited to dress up as any book character of their choice, however some good ideas to match the theme are witches, wizards, magicians or fairies.

I look forward to seeing lots of happy faces and big smiles from family and friends at the book parade!

Library Days:

Thursday Yrs 3 - 6

Friday Yrs P - 2

Please remind your child to bring a cloth library bag to keep borrowed books clean & safe.

We’ve got lots of new titles waiting to hit the shelves and I’m always grateful for help with book covering. If you’re able to spare some time to take a small pile home (contact supplied), please send me an email or come by the library or office on a Thursday or Friday morning before/after school.

Thanks and HAPPY READING 🙂
