Book Week: A Journey into the World of Stories

From August 19th to 30th, we immersed ourselves in the magic of stories during our much-anticipated Children’s Book Week. The air was filled with excitement as the children eagerly participated in a variety of activities designed to bring their favourite tales to life.

Our journey began with the children taking on the creative challenge of building displays for their beloved books. Classics such as Wombat Stew and The Very Hungry Caterpillar took centre stage, along with delightful stories about kangaroos, zoo animals, and the whimsical adventures found in Room on the Broom. Each display was a testament to the children’s imagination and their deep connection with these cherished tales.

Throughout the week, the children enthusiastically shared diverse pieces of literature with their peers. This not only fostered a love for reading but also allowed them to appreciate the art of storytelling from different perspectives. The joy of discovering new stories and the pride of sharing personal favourites created a vibrant atmosphere of learning and literary exploration.

Adding to the excitement, the children had the chance to dress up as their favourite book characters. The sight of little ones donning costumes of iconic characters brought an extra layer of fun and creativity to the celebrations. This dress-up week was a highlight, sparking conversations about the stories behind each costume and inspiring even more engagement with books.

The week reached its peak with a special visit from Leah Eden, the Vice Principal of The Grange P-12 College. Leah graciously joined us to read stories to the children, creating a memorable and enriching experience. Her visit not only highlighted the importance of reading but also strengthened the bonds between our learning community and the wider educational environment.

Children’s Book Week was a resounding success, leaving a lasting impact on the children. The creativity, joy, and deepened love for literature that blossomed during this celebration will continue to inspire and guide the children on their educational journey.
