Book Week 2015

04 Sep 2015

 

On Tuesday 25th August Smithfield Public School celebrated National Childrens Book Week. Some special guests at our school were Willy wonka, Pinnocio, a few Paper Bag Princesses and an Oooma Loompa.
 
The parade was an opportunity to see some of the passion and talent our students and teachers have for reading. It was one of the most impressive book parades at our school and even The Queen of Hearts showed up with her army of cards firing bubbles at the crowd.
 
Everyone enjoyed hearing from guest author Deborah Abela, sharing stories of being arrested, put in prison and having monkey poo thrown at her. Deborah encouraged students to write in interesting ways by adding ‘trouble' to their stories. She ignited a spark in readers from Kindergarten all the way through to Year 6.
 
Thank you to all the parents who showed their support, we loved celebrating the day with you.
 
Happy reading!
Miss Johnstone
