Book Week

Library Notes

Book Week is coming to Wales St PS in Week 7, beginning Monday 26 August.

This is one week later than the traditional Book Week due to other school events.

We will celebrate in Library classes and Library Club. We will vote for our favourite picture story book and compare the results with the Adult CBCA judges and the Junior shadow judges. On Tuesday 27 August we will enjoy a Book character dress-up day and weather dependent, gather on the oval to watch the parade of book characters just after morning roll call. Wet weather means we will probably parade in year level areas.

The Foundation, Grade 1 and Grade 2 students will have an author visit on Wednesday morning, 28 August, from Antoinette Pellegrini. She will be reading her book, Sandcastles: A Story About Our Connected World, and talking about how she wrote the book.

There is an order form below to use if you would like to order a paperback copy of this book and receive it when she visits. Payment can be made by cash and order form in an envelope (hand to Lisa in the Office) or by Direct debit or Credit card as per the order form below.

Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge

The VPRC is ending at the beginning of September, and I would really like to have the final books ready to verify by Tuesday 3 September. This gives me a few days to make sure everyone who has earnt a Challenge certificate, will get it.

Happy Reading
