Whole School Dress Up and Parade
On Wednesday our school dressed up in our favourite book characters and held an assembly in the Quad where we had a parade. This was a lot of fun and it was terrific to see everyone dressed up in a variety of characters.
Book Week Activity
This year we created an Australian outback display in our classroom. Mrs Baldwin took a photo of each of us reading a book and placed our pictures on the large display area. We also wrote a reflection piece answering the following questions:

As a class we discussed these 2 questions and we really thought about why we have such a love for reading. In Room 10 we all enjoy reading a variety of texts from fiction, non fiction, magazines, novels, picture books, articles and we practise reading daily each morning in our literacy block.
It has been a massive week!!

Hi Mrs Baldwin
I enjoyed the parade because it was a good chance to show of my style and costume.
I enjoyed the winner of the picture book of the year Mr Huff because I felt it shows even when your having a terrible day you just have to beat that fluffy monster that is putting you down to find your happiness.
This year in 2016 I dressed up as the undercover spy named Zac Power because on his missions he is always very secretly, sneakily and mysteriously doing it his own way.
