Book Week Dress–up Parade will take place next 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?
Working with COVID restrictions, we will not be able to have an audience but we will take photos to share with families in the next newsletter and via Facebook.
Students will also be taking part in a collaborate and create challenge as a whole class and the library will display the students’ work for everyone to enjoy early in Term 4.
