IAA Book Week 2009

Whose book is it Anyway?

2009-03-08T06:47:00.000-07:00

Book Week finished off with a very entertaining assembly. The atmosphere was electric as everyone was in the mood for some great fun. Several prizes were given out for the winners of different activities. The best part was when some of the teachers did some great acting so that we could play the game 'Whose Book is it Anyway?'

Parade

The weather on Thursday was beautiful which turned the parade into a lovely occasion. Everyone came to school dressed up as a character from a book. Just before lunch a parade was held around community square where everyone showed off their costumes. It was a very colourful and musical event.

Even though the library was closed this week due to the book sale, donations and other activities, Reception 2 N still went and enjoyed reading some books there.

Here are some colourful photos of us enjoying books in the library.

What are R2J doing?

2009-03-02T23:33:00.001-08:00

Reception 2J read the story of The 3 Billy Goats Gruff. In Maths, we built bridges to go over the river. They had to be strong enough for the biggest billy goat. Look at what we built...

Thankfully, all the bridges were strong enough for the goat to cross.

What are Grade 5 doing?
