Clyde Grammar celebrated this year’s Book Week on Friday 13 September.
With the theme ‘Reading is Magic’, the day started with a Book Parade. Students from Foundation to Year 4 showcased their outfits, many of them homemade, and many of the teachers also joined in the fun and dressed as their favourite book characters.
“This year’s Book Parade has been timed to coincide with the school’s very first Book Fair,” Clyde Grammar’s Library teacher Krystal Theobald said.
“The day began with the Book Parade where the children proudly showed their costumes to each other and families were also able to enjoy watching the children.
“Later, the children watched magician, Tim Mason, perform magic and they took part in a workshop with him to learn some basic magic tricks.”
The children also visited the school’s first Book Fair, which had an Enchanted Forest theme to tie in with the theme ‘Reading is Magic’.
“Book Week is all about fostering a love of literature, reading and that feeling of holding a book in your hand. The children were totally immersed in the enchanting world that can be found within the pages of a book,” Mrs Theobald said.
“We hope the event created some lasting memories of how reading can bring joy and happiness to everyday life, and we hope it encourages the students to continue to visit the school library and enjoy the books there.”
