Our Book Week Celebration 

Dress–up Parade Tuesday 15th  September 

Following the 2020 theme, students are asked to plan a costume that connects to one word in the theme Curious Creatures Wild Minds and tell us what connection they have made. 

Will you be a creature? 

Are you a curious explorer, scientist, artist.....? 

Where have you gone using your wild imagination/mind? 

 Collaborate and Create Challenge - Let your curiosity run wild... 

Students will be asked to reflect on and share what has sparked their curiosity during their learning and living this term. With teacher guidance, students will collaborate on a plan to showcase their reflections with the final product to be constructed in an hour challenge on Tuesday 15th. The library will display the students’ work for everyone to enjoy. 

  Thanks Year 6 Helpers! 

Each Tuesday we shelve returned items from the previous week. Our rostered Year 6 students make fast work of the fiction and junior fiction titles. We couldn’t complete this task in the time available without their assistance, thanks students! 

More evidence of collaborative helpers! Year 6 students cut and placed the streamers for our library display.

 The finished project thanks to the multi-talented Mrs King and Mrs Powers! 

Mrs King created the amazing lettering to encourage us to ‘Let our curiosity run wild” and Mrs Powers engineered the letters and decorations into place. 

Thank you both so much, all library users will enjoy the results of your effort for weeks to come!
