10 Aug 2014
Our students are really looking forward to the Book Week celebrations at our school. Book week is from August 18 until August 22 and the theme for 2014 is "Connect with Books". To set the scene and create the interest students are looking at books which are finalists for Book of the Year 2014 during weekly Library lessons with Ms Stillman.
Activities during this week include:
Toukfest: a short movie festival where students are invited to make and present a short 5 minute movie based on the plot of a book or something completely original. These will be presented on the afternoon of 22 August.
Children's Author Visit: Local author, Judy Townsend will visit the school on 20 and 21 August to share with the students information on publishing books including a display of initial sketches and manuscripts for her books.
Book Parade: This is a real favourite for students and staff. On Friday 22 August students are invited to dress up in costume to represent a book character from a book within our Library. They should be carrying the book as they parade.
Stay posted for further information on this exciting week.
