Book Week News
Scholastic Book Fair
Our annual Scholastic Book Fair will arrive at Scoresby PS next Thursday, 18th August to coincide with Book Week 2022.
The Scholastic Book Fair is a much-loved institution at many schools, including Scoresby PS, and we look forward to being able to give families the opportunity to browse and purchase a selection of wonderful children's books.
The Book Fair will be open to the school community for sales in the school Library between Monday 22nd August and Wednesday 24th August - 8.30-9.00am and 3.30-4.00pm each day. Posters with sale times will be placed around the school next week. In addition, each student will receive a flyer giving a preview of just some of the titles available to purchase from the Book Fair.
Please note that face masks must be worn at all times whilst in the Book Fair.
Book Week Dress-Up Day
To celebrate Book Week 2022, we are going to hold a whole-school Book Week Dress-Up Day on Friday 26th August.
For this event, we encourage families to make costumes by being creative with what you have at home. Look around the house to see if you have something that can be adapted into an outfit; use your imagination to re-purpose things like boxes, cardboard, fabric, clothes, etc. Students may think of a book character, title or theme to dress up as, or may like to design a costume to match the Book Week theme, "Dreaming With Eyes Open".
This is not a fundraiser and no gold coin donation is necessary.
CBCA Short-listed Book Discovery
We will be providing plenty of opportunities for to students to discover and celebrate the wonderful 2022 CBCA short-listed books throughout Book Week. This has, for some levels, already started in their Visual Arts lessons with Mrs Coster sharing some of the books, and the students using them as inspiration for art creation. Book Week is always a wonderful opportunity to highlight reading in many different ways...and we will be doing this with gusto at SPS!
