Book Week
Next Week is Book Week.
The 2023 theme is READ GROW INSPIRE.
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 as 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 lunchtime, with funds contributing to camp/graduation expenses.
Throughout the week, virtual excursions will be hosted by various authors and illustrators and other craft activities.
A “Guess the Book Title Using the Emoji Clues” has been distributed via the newsletter today. Families are encouraged to use the clues to find the titles of books on the 2023 Children’s Book Week Council Short List. You can find the list here: https://cbca.org.au/shortlist-2023
Please return throughout Book Week to the office.
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.
