The Joy Of Book Week in Junior School

The Junior School came alive with the presence of book characters roaming the hallways as students immersed themselves in the final day of festivities for Book Week 2023. The Book Parade was a joyous celebration of literature as was the house reading activity which followed. Students were so lucky to have a group of fabulous mums helping out at the book fair, ensuring that those students looking for books found just what they were after. 

It was a week of fun for all, with students reflecting on their favourite celebrations throughout the week as follows: 

‘My favourite part of book week was the teacher dance. It was amazing to see all of the teachers dressed up and dancing to the book week theme song, I feel better when I’m reading!! I also loved the morning videos. This is because they were fun and the sing-a-long was catchy. We knew that each day one of our teachers would read a story about people who inspired them. It was great.’
