There is nothing better than a good book! To encourage the love of reading and literature we are starting  “Book of the Week.”  A book will be chosen for Kindergarten to Year 2 and another for Year 3 - Year 6. Each class will have the opportunity to hear the book and have a short “book talk.” Children will then be able to be detectives, locating references to the books in various places around the school (a picture, or a word, or a sentence), the idea being to promote simple discussion about the books as they search.

The titles of the books will be listed in the newsletter, so feel free to chat to your children about them. Many of the titles will also be available on YouTube, perhaps you could even listen to them at home.

 We are kicking off this new adventure this week with the National Simultaneous Story Time book choice, ‘Family Tree’ by Josh Pyke.  https://youtu.be/YkQXX-uj_qM
