"Reading Is My Secret Power"

Book Week is the longest running children's festival in Australia.  It is an annual event celebrated by schools and local community libraries to promote books and reading.  Each year the Children's Book Council of Australia selects books written or illustrated by Australian authors to be sortlisted in a book competition. These books can be recognised by the bronze circle on them.  All classes have been exposed to some of these books.

On Thursday,  22nd August, a highlight of our Book Week celebrations will include a Book Week Parade at 9:30am.  Parent, grandparents and special friends are invited to our special "Reading is My Secret Power" Book Week Parade. 

Skye Keller, the Pastoral Support Worker will be in the Stephanie Alexander Dining Room prior to the parade so please come and say hello.  Tea and coffee coffee will be available.

The parade will be held under the COLA and will showcase the children, and maybe some teachers, dressed up in costumes / masks based on the characters or storyline from the shortlisted book chosen by each class.  The costumes will be made in class and will just add a bit of fun to the morning.  

We look forward to seeing everyone at the parade.
