Book week mania comes to John Colet on August 19th!
Teachers and students please come to school dressed as your favourite book character, and bring along your favourite book to share and discuss with your class. Everyone is encouraged to bring a gold coin donation, and all proceeds from the day will go to a children’s literacy charity. The sky’s the limit when it comes to how everyone chooses to dress up; keep it simple or go all out – it’s up to you! All costumes will be appreciated but there will be no prizes for best dressed.
During book week (week 6), we’ll also be holding a book drive. Have a look through your book shelves and bring along any children’s books you no longer need. There’ll be a collection box in the breeze way where you can donate your books.
If you’d like to have a look at which books are on the shortlist for 2015, you can find the finalists on the The Children’s Book Council of Australia’s website: http://cbca.org.au/ShortList-2015.htm
