It has been wonderful to see the K-2 and Year 6 students back in the library this week and I’m looking forward to seeing the Year 3-5 students next week! As we missed out on celebrating Book Week together last term, we are holding our celebrations on Wednesday 10^th November.

We invite all students to come dressed as a book character, either fictional or real, or as something relating to the Book Week theme ‘Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds’ on this day. If possible could your child also bring along the book or a picture of the book cover to let others know the book their character is from. If any students choose not to dress as a book character, they can wear their normal school uniform.  Please note that the costume does not need to be too elaborate or expensive.  We would encourage parents to use dress-up clothes from home for the event. There are also many simple DIY ideas on the Internet.

Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 restrictions, we will not be able to have our normal Book Week parade with parents in attendance.

Students will also be involved in activities based on this year’s shortlisted books in their classrooms.

The teachers and I look forward to seeing our students come dressed as their book character of choice. Thank you to all parents and carers for your support, enthusiasm and creativity!
