Term 3 is very busy in the library: with Book Week, Author Visits, the Big Read and The Great Book Swap.
On Thursday in Week 4 Perform Education will be visiting the Receptions to Year 2s to perform their musical show Way Too Cool. They will sing about a variety of the Children’s Book Council’s shortlisted books for this year.
During Week 5 we will also have two authors visiting. Katrina Germein will be visiting the receptions – year 3s on Monday and Mike Lucas will be visiting the year 4s – year 6s on Tuesday.
On Friday 25th August we will be celebrating with a Book Week parade. It would be wonderful to see students come to school dressed as their favourite book character or dress to the theme Read, Grow, Inspire. Hopefully we have lovely weather and we can welcome families to attend the parade at 9am at the basketball courts. Unfortunately, if the weather is not favourable we will need to hold the parade inside and families will not be able to join us.
We will be hosting a Great Book Swap during Book Week, week 5 of this term, with all funds raised going to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. We ask that you send your child with a book/s to donate to the Great Book Swap. Books are being collected in the library now. During Book Week (week 5) children will have the opportunity to choose a book to take home in return for a $2 donation.
The Premier’s Reading Challenge closes on the 8th of September. Please encourage your child to complete the Challenge. Forms are available in the library and more information can be found online at http://www.premiersreadingchallenge.sa.edu.au/PRC/
Yours in reading,
