Book Week 2018 - This years theme is ‘find your treasure’. Book week activities will be held in week 7. The character parade is scheduled for the morning of Monday 3rd September. Children are encouraged to choose their favourite book, one they treasure and dress up as one of the characters. The costumes do not need to be elaborate, in fact, parents are encouraged to get their child involved in the planning and creating process. Your child will feel more inclined to help if they are excited about the character they're dressing up as. Stay tuned to this website...more details to come.
