Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Carers,
Happy Book Week!
Today has been a fabulous day to celebrate books. We had a wonderful dress-up day parade this morning and some great activities throughout the day about the shortlisted books. We’ll share some photos with you next week.
Mrs Anderson, our Teacher-Librarian, reads most of the year’s shortlisted books to the students in the lead up to Book Week. She likes to see which they prefer compared to the winners selected by the judges from the Children’s Book Council.
Some of the 2019 winners were:
Tricky’s Bad Day Alison Lester Category: Early Childhood |
His Name was Walter Emily Rodda Category: Younger Readers |
Cicada Shaun Tan Category: Picture Book |
You may like to ask your child about their favourite shortlisted book and the activities they completed today based on the shortlisted books. It would be interesting to see what they believe makes a book a winning book!
Thank you for your ongoing care and partnership in your child’s learning.
God bless.
Rachel Smith
