Literacy News
Update from Julie Grace-Literacy Leader
Reading
On 23rd May our students participated in the National Simultaneous Storytime, reading "Alpacas With Maracas" written by Matt Cosgrove.
Some beautiful and colourful responses to this story are now displayed in the Library.
Writing
Writing is a focus for us this year and we are looking forward to Book Week in Term 3. As we will welcome author/illustrator, Mark Wilson to our school on our Book Week Day to share his love of writhing with us.
We have all been busy reading his books and writing to Mark with suggestions for his next book.
We are pleased to announce that St Agnes' School has had more than 10 students in our senior school progress past the initial judging in the 2019 School Writing Competition.
We have been recognised for outstanding student writing and have received a Certificate Of Excellence which has been displayed in the foyer. We await the final judging of our work over the next weeks.

An information session will be held in Room 4 at 9.00 am on Wednesday 5th June for parents/carers of Grade 3 to 6 students.
A CareMonkey eform will be sent to every family, please respond if you are able to attend.
