Information about Book Week 2016

Each class in the school will be doing an author study on a kiwi writer. Room 15 is doing their author study on 'Lynley Dodd'. She is the writer of all of the Hairy Maclary series. We will also be creating some kiwiana art work to display in the classroom and library. We will be buddy reading with classes in the school and will have other teachers coming in to our class to read to us. 

There are two authors coming to visit our school to do storytelling on Thursday and Friday. They are Lewis Carol and Stu Duval. The cost for this is $6 per child. Please bring this to school by early next week. 

On Friday we have a book parade. All students from each class must dress as a book character from their favourite book and bring this book with them. We will assemble on the top astroturf at 9am and will parade down to the school hall at 9.15am. Each class will then have the opportunity to come up and parade around the stage. Finalists from the juniors and seniors will be invited back onto the stage and prizes will be awarded.
