St Francis de Sales Primary School in Lynbrook celebrated this year’s Book Week on Monday 2 September.
With this year’s theme ‘Reading is Magic’, students celebrated the power of books to make them feel, question, wonder, and experience.
Students dressed up in costumes to express their love for books. They spent the day with a range of fun activities that focused on the theme and nominated books. Reading, fun challenges, quizzes and even some arts were incorporated into the activities.
Jai and Abby from Perform Education visited the school again to deliver a performance.
“The day is great because we get to have fun dressing up and creating costumes from our favourite books. Every year we always do new activities and learn about why reading is important,” student Evie said.
“I love the day and dressing up with my friends. The show was great and it’s always fun to have a day where we get to do fun activities,” student Joy said.
The school’s literacy leader Joanna Forbes said it was a fun day had by all with a positive atmosphere for children to interact and engage with each other doing different activities.
“Perform Education’s play is a highlight of our Book Week celebrations every year,” she said.
“The children love the performance. It engages them through song and dance as well as a fantastic story line incorporating the nominated books and a key message that relates to their everyday lives.
“The takeaway from this year’s performance was a particularly special one for us, that every day we are surrounded by little miracles that we should be grateful for.”
