Book Week in the Primary School from May 8-12

We are super excited to be celebrating Book Week in the Primary School from May 8-12. Throughout the week each class will take part in different reading activities with a final character dress up day on Thursday the 12th. Grade levels will be celebrating their love of books and reading through guest readers, literacy quizzes, a book exchange, and optional at home reading activities. Some of the activities planned will need some help from home, others will simply take place in the classroom.  

Please take a look at the activities planned that students will need your help with. 

Bookworm: Your child may be bringing home yellow circles.  These circles are part of our growing bookworm.  When you finish a book during the week write the title and author of the book and sent it back to school.  We want to see how long we can grow our bookworm.  

Book Exchange:  Each grade level will have their own book exchange.  Have a look at your book collection at home and decide which books you would like someone else to enjoy.  The books need to be appropriate for the same grade level your child is in as well as in good condition. If you child brings in one book he/she will get to choose one book, if he/she brings in two he/she will choose two.  Books may be brought in all week.  The picking of 'new' books will take place on Thursday.
