IMC Update – Book Week, Poetry and Reading
Book Week 2022 in Review
Book Week has now concluded for another year and what an amazing week it was!
Our week of celebrating all things book related was kicked off with the Design Your Ideal Library competition.
Students were provided with a range of arts and crafts materials and instructed to create a diorama of their ideal library space. This activity was incredibly popular with students from all year groups continuing to work on their projects throughout the week.
So many creative ideas were brought to life which made it extremely difficult to choose our winner, so in the end, our judges decided to award two designs.
Congratulations to Samar S, Ashwini W, Adriana M, Rachel F, Tihana F-C, Chalea F-C, Rosemarry T.
Staff Shelfie Competition
Our next competition was the Staff Shelfie Competition. Yes, “Shelfie not Selfie”! This competition required students to match the teacher with their bookshelf.
It certainly created lots of discussion as our students played detective and tried to spot clues in the photographs. Once again two winners were awarded. Congratulations to Tara S and Sameer G.
Book Flag Competition
Our final competition was the Book Flag Competition. Students were provided with arts and crafts materials and challenged to recreate their favourite book cover in flag form.
Our students’ creativity shone through once again and many beautiful flags were created. These will now be used to decorate the Reading Room in our library.
Congratulations to Chloe U, Thuy N, and Sarah L.
A big thank you to all the staff and students who celebrated Book Week with us. It would not have been successful without the support of the wonderful MMCC community.
We look forward to doing it all again next year!
IMC Poetree
Year 7 English Wide Reading classes had fun experimenting with different forms and styles of poetry to help support the work they have been completing in class.
Students were introduced to Haiku, Spine Label Poetry and Paint Chip Poetry and enjoyed being able to use these different forms of poetry to create some wonderful writing. The students wrote their own poems on leaves which now form part of our ‘Poetree’ in the IMC.
Premier’s Reading Challenge
The Premier’s Reading Challenge has now concluded for 2022. Well done to all students who participated in the challenge.
Special congratulations to the following students who completed the challenge by reading 20 books or more. Your certificates will be issued at the end of year awards ceremony.
