Book Week! Book Week! Book Week! Book Week! 

The Book Character Parade 

One of the highlights of Book Week is the Book Character Parade and it will be held on Thursday 22nd August at 10:30. Parents, carers and our own Little Joey's are all invited. Come dressed as your favourite book character. Parents you are even invited to dress up and join in the event. Remember though the costumes can be really simple. Just choose one of your favourite books and dress up as a character. Bring the book along too. We can't wait to see the creativity of the costumes. Stay and have a cuppa afterwards. Book Fair will be available after the parade too.

Book Fair

Browse and buy books from a wide selection of books at our Book Fair. Scholastic once again will be hosting and this year it will held over the 2 weeks from the 19th -30th August. Scholastic provide our school with a wonderful commission to help us purchase new books for our library. Unfortunately, we don't have Eftpos facilities but we will have a QR code at the counter for you to access and pay online with your card. This year Book Fair will be held in the Stage 3 breakout room which is the last room past the Stage 2 classroom.

Times for next week 

Thursday - After the parade and 3:30-4:00

Friday - 8:30-9:00

Donate a Book to the Library

Every year we encourage books to be donated to our library. We have already chosen our selection and you can choose from the $10, $15 and $20 piles. If you donate a book your child will be able to borrow it first. Of course this is voluntary.

CBCA Book Awards

This Saturday the winners of the CBCA awards are announced. We look forward to finding out the winners and  we certainly have some favourites.

A reminder of Book Week last year!
