Book of the Month - SEPTEMBER
WHO'S A GOOSE? by Scott Stuart
From a barrel of monkeys to a waddle of penguins, this laugh out loud animal rhyming story is all about collective nouns! If one goose is a goose, and two gooses are geese, then why is one moose a moose?
This is a new book in the BPS Library.

BOOK WEEK ! BOOK DAY! The BOOK FAIR!
Monday 22nd - Friday 26th August.
DREAMING WITH EYES OPEN! (CBCA theme)
The theme is about stepping into your own story, dreaming with eyes open!
A BIG thank you to our BPS community!
Also, a special mention and thank you to our local author, Murray Collins.
Murray shared his time and knowledge with some BPS students during Book Week.
There was great discussion and questions. This was another great reading experience shared by many. Nothing sets kids up for success more than being a strong reader!
"Reunited" is available to borrow from our school library or to purchase from The Grounds Cafe for $20 with $5 from every sale going to the charity, Very Special Kids.
