Last Wednesday we held our Book Week parade, Guessing Competition and Trivia Quiz. It was wonderful to welcome the preschoolers and see all the children dressed as their favourite book characters. It was fantastic to have characters from both new and classic books, from across a range of genres. St. Joseph's students do love a dress up day and this day did not disappoint. 

In the afternoon, we played Book Week trivia with the whole school, with teams being made up from across the year groups. It was fantastic to see our older students supporting the younger students in their teams. The winning team was ELCJT Winners- comprising of Laura Reynolds (team captain), Josey Hobbs, Emily McMahon, Talia Taufu'i and Campbell Roche.  The Guessing Competition was won by Billy Bamblett and Emily Matthews.

Although our Book Fair was cancelled due to space restrictions, families can still buy books from the Book Club order form that went home last week. The school still benefits from ordering through this form. 

This year in Library, we are focusing on instilling a love of reading and would encourage everyone to read at home regularly. If you would like some reading suggestions, I am happy to help because that is often the stopping point to children reading.
