This week, Yarra Junction Primary School is celebrating Book Week.
This year’s theme is ‘Reading is Magic’ and staff and students are sharing their love of reading throughout the school.
To start the week, they held their annual dress-up day, where students (and staff) dress as their favourite book characters. There were many ‘Where’s Wally’, ‘Harry Potter’ and Disney Princesses as well as some very creative home-made costumes. The children, and their families, look forward to this event each year and put in some amazing effort in creating costumes.
During class throughout the week, students will be doing many literacy-based activities. Discussing their favourite books, author studies and studying Fairy Tales. The school has also planned a trip trip to the Yarra Junction Library with the Prep children.
Yarra Junction Primary School will also be participating in ‘The Great Book Swap’ and has asked families to donate books which students will be able to purchase for a gold coin donation. All funds raised will go to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation.
