Last Friday saw our school's Book Parade where children were encouraged to come to school dressed as their favourite book character. We are extremely grateful for the huge effort that many children, parents and families went to make the parade the success that it was. The children obviously enjoyed "rocking" to the music and parading their outfits in front of their peers. Reading is the most important skill that children will learn at school and it was wonderful to see so many of our students fully engaged in this activity.
At the conclusion of the assembly, many families returned to their children's classrooms and participated in D.E.A.R (Drop Everything And Read). Our students enjoyed having visitors in the classroom and were excited to be showing off their reading skills to their parents and relatives.
Children need to remember to keep borrowing and to get their "frequent borrower card" stamped and filled so that at the conclusion of term 3 they can collect their reward!
Many thanks to Mrs Blackhall and Mrs Legg for organising a fabulous event.
