Reading is MAGIC!! - BOOK WEEK 2024
Lights, Camera, Action. Let's Get on with the SHOW
On Monday the 2nd we woke to howling winds, fallen trees and in Lynbrook lights were well and truly off for the day!! However as they say in show business... Let's get on with the show!! We certainly did. It was sensational arriving at school to the colourful and creative costumes that greeted us. Everyone went out of their way to get into character from their favorite book. It was one of our BEST Book Week parades. Many of our staff and students collaborated and came in costumes from the same book. A huge thank you to parents for your creativity. These are days we remember. We had a performance from Perform Education and they were amazing and seamlessly adapted to presenting a show that everyone enjoyed despite making it happen without power. The children enjoyed a variety of activities round the children's books of the year. It was a great day at St Francis de Sales. Special thanks to Joanna for her passion for Literacy and for all her wonderful coordination of this event. Thanks to the combined efforts of staff and parents for the contributions big and small that added joy to our children's day.
It is true, the more you read the more you know!
So read, read, READ!!
