Book Week
Book Week will be celebrated at St Mary’s in Week 6 from the 21st of August to 25th of August.
The 2023 theme is READ GROW INSPIRE.
Throughout the week, there will be virtual excursions hosted by various authors and illustrators, and other craft activities.
We are having a Book Character/ Theme dress-up day on Thursday 24th August with a parade at 12:15 pm. The children are encouraged to come dressed as a character from a book or use the book week theme to inspire some creative costumes!
To support Year 6 fundraising for camp/graduation there will be two cake making competitions.
The categories are:
- A cake in the form of a flower/flowers (Read Grow Inspire)
- A cake of a book character.
Children may enter individually, as a family or a friendship group.
ALL INGREDIENTS MUST BE NUT FREE
If participating, please bring cakes to the Library on Tuesday 22nd by 9:00 am for judging.
After judging the cakes will be cut and sold at lunch time, with funds contributing to camp/graduation expenses.
A “Guess the Book Title Using the Emoji Clues” will be distributed on Thursday 17th August via the Newsletter. Families are encouraged to use the clues to find the titles of books on the 2023 Children’s Book Week Council Short List. Please return throughout Book Week.
There will also be a colouring competition at school on the theme READ GROW INSPIRE. Each class winner will receive a voucher to buy a book from ISSUE 6 Book Club.
