CBCA Book Week and Book Character Parade
Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Book Week is next week! So, dust off the costumes for your favourite book character and get ready for the best books for Australian children winners to be announced! We are busy in the library getting ready with decorations and with lots of students colouring Australian animals to enhance the 'Dreaming with Eyes Open' theme.
The 'Come as your Favourite Book Character Parade' days are:
Primary - Wednesday, 24 August.
Infants - Thursday, 25 August.
Each parade will begin after morning assembly and parents are invited to join us to watch each class parade.
It is important your child knows what character they are and from what book.
It is always such an exciting day!!!
