This term, our Yachts students ‘hit the books’ as they explored the magic woven by talented Australian authors for Book Week 2016. Excitement mounted as students collected their shiny copies from the library, rushing back to the room to begin reading right away!

It didn’t take long for the zealous literary lovers to finish reading the texts and begin planning ways to share this experience with classmates across Prep – Year 5. Year 4 students were lucky to meet the author they had studied at a Book Week visit in the library.

After much designing, rejigging and lunchtime labour, we were ready! Book Week was here.

Sock puppets were whipped up to read the news, beach towels were fluffed for storytelling in comfort, colourful collages were craftily created and scavenger hunts were set and clues hidden. It was time to visit the classrooms and spread the love of literature in its finest forms.  

The joy of losing yourself in the layers of a well-crafted story is something very special. And even more so, when shared with your keen and bright eyed peers.
