Good news…the Scholastic Book Club orders for issue #4 have arrived and are coming home this afternoon.

 

• A reminder that Book Fair will be here in Week 3 and Book Week will be Week 5 with a dress up day and parade happening on the Monday …”My Secret Superpower is Reading.”
• HAPPY HOLIDAYS

The end of this term is fast approaching and with that are some things to be aware of for the first part of Term 3.

Week 3 is the much anticipated Book Fair. It will launch on Monday the 5th of August at 3pm and close Thursday the 8th of August at 4pm. This is a fabulous opportunity for the school community to have it’s own bookshop on site. There will be more details in the coming weeks.

Week 5 is Book Week. The theme for this year is…Reading is my Secret Power. This is a Children’s Book Council of Australia event that we celebrate by dressing up as our favorite book character and having a parade.  The parade will be held in Bukatila on Monday the 19th of August at 9am, all are welcome. There will be other activities for the children to take part in during the week.

IMPORTANT DATE: Premier’s Reading Challenge closes on the 6th of September. All forms must be completed and submitted by that date for children to be eligible for a certificate or medal.

 

A final reminder that all orders for Issue#4 will need to be finalized by this Monday the 17th of June 9am. This will ensure that all items are received before the holidays. Online orders can be placed after this date, however, they will incur a $5 home delivery fee by Scholastic.

Last year I collected some thoughts from children about why they like reading books. Here are just some of their thoughts…

Reading gives you the freedom to do impossible things. William

I like how we can read them over and over again. Nari

Reading can take you everywhere and anywhere. Brooke

I can picture the story in my head like a movie. Amber

You can never read a book too many times and you can take books anywhere you go. Elle Rose

I like reading because I can pull myself in the book and make it come to life. Amiel

I hope you all had an opportunity for relaxing family fun over the break and are ready for the next nine weeks of term.
