BOOK WEEK

CONNECT TO READING - READING TO CONNECT
BOOK WEEK 2014

Our library has been a hive of activity this week with classes
getting into the spirit of this year's Book Week theme:
Connect to reading - Reading to connect

We have had buddy classes reading to younger students
some of their favourite stories, 
discussing how they connect with the story
Text to Self : Text to Text : Text to World


We have also been running a Guess Who?? competition with
students guessing which teacher is holding which book
 - the prize being a book :) 

The winners were:
Lianna Morris (PP), Keely Ralph (Yr1), Mitch Peters (Yr2/3B) 
Luka Butterworth (Yr2/3R), Tom Leo (Yr4),
Amy Byrne (Yr5) & Gisele Gould (Yr 6)
Congratulations!

Lunchtime in the library has been very busy as we have been
making Rainbow paper chains (linking our colourful circles
together connecting with each other) and completing a 
School Community colouring in of an Indian Elephant
(connecting with the upcoming Zest Fest).
 These will remain on display in the library.

To finish off our hectic week we ran a 
favourite book character fancy dress on Friday. 
With lots of fabulous costumes the lucky winners received
a $10 voucher to be spent at the news agency on a 
book or magazine of choice.
Here are some of the fantastic contestants - great work!
