Term 3 will be a busy one for us here in the library – we have Book Week; the Great Book Swap and the Premier’s Reading Challenge is coming to an end.
Book Week is held in week 5. On Friday the 25th of August we will celebrate with a dress up day. We would love to see students dressed as their favourite book character or dressed up to suit this year’s theme Read, Grow, Inspire.
During Book Week we will be hosting a Great Book Swap with all funds raised going to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. We ask that you send your child with a book/s to donate to the Great Book Swap. Books are being collected in the library now. During the Great Book Swap children can take home a book in return for a gold coin donation.
The Premier’s Reading Challenge closes on the 8th of September. School holidays are a fantastic time for children to read and we would appreciate it if you could encourage your child to complete the challenge. We have additional forms available in the library and there is a wealth of information available online at http://www.premiersreadingchallenge.sa.edu.au/PRC/ . Just a reminder that this year students can read an additional eight books that are not on the Premiers Reading Challenge list to get a special 20th anniversary certificate.
Yours in reading,
Vasi and Sunyoung
