Book Week
Book Week 2011 was a great success. We started with a family meal and launch of our “Snuggle Up and Read” promotion. Storyteller Kaitrin McMullin entertained us with tales of Matariki. With visits to the Public Library and special guests coming into the school to read to the children we have had a fabulous time exploring New Zealand literature. Thank you to Mayor Dave Cull, our local Community Constable Paul Howard, and Author Sandy MacKay for coming to read to the children. We would also like to thank the many local businesses who donated prizes of family outings for those children who participated in “Snuggle Up and Read”. We rounded off a fabulous week with a dress up day. Famous characters and sporting celebrities to name a few came to school for the day. Can you guess which characters the staff came along as? As a school we are aiming to read One Million words over the next 5 weeks as part of our Home Learning. Wish us luck!
