Each year across Australia, the Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA) brings children and books together celebrating CBCA Book Week. The 2020 theme was Curious Creatures, Wild Minds.
We launched Book Week on Friday Week 1 when the staff and students joined in our Kildare Book Week Parade. We celebrated the wonders of reading books and dressed up as our favourite book characters. Everyone looked amazing in their Book Week character costumes.
During Term 4, Week 2 our College community celebrated Book Week. Every day we embarked on a journey of quizzes, competitions, crafts activities and our annual Book Week Parade.
The Resource Centre student volunteers transformed the Resource Centre with their creative flair. We had colourful displays of the continents and each display focused on animals that live in that part of the world. Our student volunteers worked together and showcased their organisational skills by creating and running lunch time activities that represented each continent. Thank you for all your efforts.
I would to thank Trinity, in Year 10 who drew animals that represented the Book Week theme. These drawings were the main feature of the art work for our promotional posters and bookmarks. The animals look amazing. Congratulations Trinity.
Many activities were held in the Resource Centre during Book Week
Guess how many reindeer treats are in the jar? We had three students guess the correct the answer of 132.
