Book Week Tuesday 4 June – Friday 7 June

Book Week is coming up soon and there’s a lot happening to make it fun and exciting for everyone! Book Week is all about fostering the love of reading in our children, while at the same time, helping to grow our school library collection. We will have a ‘wish list’ of books we would like to purchase for our school library.

Grand Parents Morning – Friday 7 June 9am – 12 noon (approx.)

Grandparents are invited to join in the festivities on Friday 7 June. The morning will include a special school assembly, morning tea, time in the learning hubs and the book character parade. During the morning, children will be able to take their grandparents to the book display in the library.

Grandparents are invited from 9am so that they can be welcomed and seated in the Hall before the children arrive at 9.15. Children will be sending invitations to their grandparents over the next two weeks, but please start telling them about it now.

Other Activities

Book display in the Library all week. Library based competitions for all children. Each Hub will be fundraising to purchase a book or two for the school library.

Book Character Parade

Please encourage children to dress up as a book character for the parade on the Friday. Simple costumes made from items around the home work really well and are lots of fun.
