Book Week
On Monday we have an author visiting, Tim Tipene. He will be talking to each syndicate about his interesting career and where he gains inspiration for his book characters.
As part of book week there is a pre-loved book sale on Thursday. This will take place during Break One and Two - a good opportunity to purchase new books at very reasonable prices.
Friday is Book Parade Day when children and teachers are encouraged to come to school dressed to represent a character from a book. It is also a good idea to bring along the book if you have it. Our Year 5 children are not required to wear uniform on this day.
