Book Week
Book Week
This week is Book Week and we are usually busily preparing costumes of our favourite characters in preparation for a dress up day. Given the current circumstances we find ourselves in, this year’s celebrations will be slightly different.
This year the following organisation is in place to help celebrate the amazing books that have been shortlisted for the CBCA Book Awards.
Shortlisted Book Week Books in Library
Kim, our librarian, has purchased a selection of shortlisted books for this year’s award. These are available in the Library for teachers to use during Library sessions this week. Students will be free to peruse and read the amazing books that have made the list this year. These books will also go on tour to Scotsburn during the week.
Book Week Classroom Activities
During the week, classroom teachers will have the opportunity to include Book Week activities as part of the learning program for the students to participate in. If you would like to have a go at some activities at home, why not try those listed below.
Book Readings
Throughout the week, there will be lunchtime book readings in the courtyard at the Buninyong campus.. These will be advertised in the morning announcements each day. For Scotsburn students, these book readings will be live streamed on Webex.
Morning Announcements
Everyday this week the awards for Book Week will be announced during Morning Announcements. The announcements of the winning books will include a short description and comment from the author.
Monday: Book of the Year: Younger Readers (8-12 yrs)
Tuesday: Book of the Year: Early Childhood (0-7yrs)
Wednesday: Picture Book of the Year
Thursday: Eve Pownall Award
