New Books – Continued

The new books which were on display last week sparked a great deal of interest in our students – these books are now available for borrowing.

We have more new books on display this week that were purchased with proceeds from the Book Fair.  These books will be available to students next week.

Book Week 

Each year, the Children’s Book Council of Australia nominates books written by Australian authors for awards in six different categories, five of these categories are suited for children in primary schools.

This year the following books have been shortlisted to win Book of the Year in the Early Childhood category.  Entries in this category may be fiction, drama or poetry and should be appropriate in style and content for children who are at pre-reading or early stages of reading. Ages 0-6 years.

The stories from this group that have been most popular with our students are:

• “Rainbow Bear” which tells the story of a father polar bear who tries to solve the mystery of why he wakes each morning with colourful designs on his fur, and
• “Here Comes Stinkbug!” which is the story of a stinkbug who is sometimes a bit too stinky, but he works with his friends to find a charming solution to his problem.

Upcoming Book Week events:

• August 21^st – Book Week Character Costume Parade
• August 22^nd – Meerkats Book Week performances for P-2 and 3-6
