Book Week

Barnier is Celebrating Book Week in 2010 with the theme Across the Story Bridge!

Reading is a great way to encourage children to learn about the world around them, and to improve their learning by extending their breadth of vocabulary, their ability to recognise and spell words, and broaden their descriptive language.

The events during our 2010 Book Week will be:

Monday 23rd August
Story Fiesta Yr 6Storytelling to Barnier students
Book Fair opens 8am

Tuesday 24th August
Classes visit Book Fair

Wednesday 25th August
Character Parade at 9.30am in the COLA
Family Picnic Recess
Book Fair closes at 1pm

Thursday 28th August
Theatrical book performance for Kindy to Year 6

This year to celebrate reading during Book Week all students will be invited to come to school dressed as a character from a book they have recently read. It could a character from 39 Clues, ZAC Power, the Schooling Around series, Harry Potter, Tashi, a Roald Dahl title, Girl Power or many others.

We would love for all parents to attend our Book Week Celebration to see all of the Barnier students dressed as a character from a recently read book and then share a family recess in the playground.
