During Week Eight of this term, we will be hosting a Book Week throughout the whole school.

Theme: Roald Dahl
During Week Eight of this term, we will be hosting a Book Week throughout the whole school. 
The purpose of holding this event is:

• To compliment work in the classroom
• To promote books and libraries
• To enhance the enjoyment of reading
• To inquire into how New Zealand and other cultures are represented through books and authors.

As part of Book Week, there will be quizzes run in the classrooms and a chance to win some book vouchers by entering the Y1-3 bookmark competition or the Y4-6 Wanted Poster competition. The children can be as creative as they wish and then bring their creations along to school to be judged. Good luck, everyone!

Throughout the week there will also be times within each Learning Community to share books with buddy classes and hear different teachers read their favourite books.

On the last Friday of Book Week, we will all be coming to school dressed as book characters and taking part in a parade – weather permitting. Now is the time to start thinking about what to come dressed up as! The children’s costumes can be as simple or as fancy as you like.
