We have done many things this week as a school and also as a class to celebrate Book Week.
Whole School Dress Up and Parade
On Wednesday our school dressed up in our favourite book characters and held an assembly in Wittunga Hall 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.
Shine a Light Production
The whole school had the opportunity to watch the production called ‘Shine a Light’. This involved 2 characters going on an adventure and meeting other characters from some of the shortlisted books of 2015. The books that featured in the production were: Two Blankets, Scary Night and The Duck and the Darklings.
Ms Sweeney Activity in the Library
Our class and Miss Medhurst’s year 3 class buddied up and participated in an activityΒ with Ms Sweeney. To begin with Ms Sweeney read us a book called…
We then did an art activity where we recreated the bushfire using water colours and paint. We used orange, yellow and blue water colours to paint the background.Β We then placed small droplets of black paint onto the paper and used a straw to blow the paint so that it would spread in different directions so they looked like burnt trees.
Book Week Lanterns
As this year the theme was ‘Books light up our world,’ we decided to make lanterns. We had a picture of our favourite book at the front and we placed a candlelight inside so that it would light up our books. We also wrote a small book recommendation stating why people should read our chosen book and what our favourite part was in the story. These are nowΒ all hung in the hallway near our room and they look beautiful when the lights are off and the candles are shining.
It has been a massive week!!

My favourite book that we all read was pig the pug because their pictures were very detailed and funny and I just love pugs because of their smoothed face their so cute.
