Book Week Celebrations

We had an exciting week of book celebrations last week! On Tuesday, K-6 participated in a video conference with author and illustrator, Garry Fleming at Taronga Park Zoo in Sydney. Garry wrote and illustrated the book Bollygum.

The children explored a narrative (story) text and had a lesson on drawing and were lucky to see some live animals from the Zoo who are featured in the book – a great experience for all students!

On Wednesday, Library had a get creative afternoon where children in groups created a book character from an array of materials. Our front cover (as well as various photos throughout the newsletter) depicts some of the great outcomes!

Friday morning we visited the Junee Library – the children participated in the space theme with many recycled items being created and entered into the Library competition.
