“A book is a dream that you hold in your hands”

We will be dreaming with our eyes open next week, as we celebrate Book Week at school. What better way to end the Term! The Scholastic Book Fair will be open in the Library from Monday, to purchase books. All sales earn rewards for our school to purchase new books and literacy resources.

Students will have the opportunity to come in and browse during their Library lessons.  The Book Fair will be open to parents from 8.30am to 9.00am every morning next week and from 3.00pm to 4.00pm each afternoon (with the exception of public holiday Thursday 22^nd September). Sorry, no cash, EFTPOS only.

We have some exciting competitions running this week too - Do you know who is reading behind that book? Or, can you guess how many books we have in the Library?  Writing a short book review is also another activity. Scholastic Book Fair Vouchers will be given to our winners to use at the fair.

On the last day of Term, Friday 23^rd September, students and staff will come to school dressed in pyjamas (or similar safe attire), ready for our Reading Picnic. A donation via the QKR app will go towards our Vinnie’s appeal, helping to fulfill dreams of those in need, in our community. Later in the day, students will be zooming in with our Author, Jackie French.  We are very excited!

We warmly invite you to come and read with us commencing at 9.00am on the basketball court. Reading stations will be set up to choose a book and read together. Parents might also like to buy a coffee/tea from the coffee cart from 8.15am.

Looking forward to celebrating all that reading has to offer and promoting a lifelong love of reading, especially at bedtime, in pyjamas!

Happy Reading!
