Happy Book Week Everyone!

We were very fortunate to begin our Book Week celebrations with a visit from Anna Battese, the author of two books ‘PD McPem's Agency for Mysterious Mysteries Series. She inspired us all with stories of her own personal adventures as well as stories from her imagination. 

Anna spoke about how she plans her writing and begins her story writing process. She showed us some great ways to plan out our ideas before writing, and encouraged us all to be as crazy as we liked with our own imaginations! This week in library lessons we have not only celebrated Book Week by reading great books but we have also started creating our own stories.. we are all the authors of our very own books!  Thanks Anna for being here with us and inspiring us to use our imaginations! 

Yesterday we celebrated Book Week with our book character parade. WOW!! What an amazing effort by everyone! Thank you to all our families who helped bring our love of books alive. The students looked amazing in their outfits and were so proud to talk to others about their character and what book it came from! What a super fun way to encourage reading and a love of books! We have some fantastic photos to share with you all! 

Yesterday was also Australian School Library Day! Thank you to all our families who support our school library. The students love borrowing books and sharing them with you at home or reading them in class! From scrambling to find library books on library borrowing day, to searching book shelves for the hidden/ lost over due book, to buying books from our school book club (which gives us points to buy new books), donating books, covering books, celebrating books, thank you! We love our school library!! 

Happy Book Week everyone! I hope you too can find some time in your busy week to escape into a really good book.
