Welcome back to the final term of 2020. What a year it has been.

As always, our library is a hive of activity. Preparations are underway for Book Week this term. This year’s theme is

Our BOOK WEEK parade will be held on Monday 19^th of October in Week 3.This is when we will get to celebrate our love of reading and books.  However, due to COVID restrictions, our parents, carers and wider community will be unable to attend. The parade will be held at approximately 9am on the soft fall outside of the library and prizes will be given for the “BEST CLASS BORROWERS.”  Photos of the event will be posted on our school Facebook page. We look forward to seeing all of our students and staff dressed up as their favourite book characters.

Also in Week 6 is our much anticipated Book Fair. The year’s theme is

The Fair will be open Friday 6^th November until Wednesday 11^th November from 8.15 until 8.45 in the mornings and from 3.05 until 3.30 in the afternoons. Only students will be able to visit the fair. In the past we have offered parents the opportunity to attend an evening BOOK FAIR event, however, due to the current COVID restrictions this will have to be revised and will we will send out information closer to the date.

The Scholastic Book Club brochure for Issue 7 will be sent home this week and orders need to be put in before Thursday 22nd October.  If you are interested in making any purchases you can find out how on the second last page of the brochure. Don't forget that as a bonus the school receives free resources with any purchases made, but more importantly your child gets to build on their own personal book collection.
