Parade day with Eve, Georgiana, Lily and Gabby enjoying the competitions in the library.
Thank you to everyone for making book week such a success. Parade day was a real highlight with so many children running around in wonderful costumes.
The competitions are being assessed at the moment and results will be ready soon.
We sold over $7500 worth of books which is brilliant. The commission we earn will go towards setting up a senior fiction area and new library books.
We loved all the visitors to school who came and shared their stories. We had All Black and Crusader Andy Ellis reading stories and showing us his World Cup medal. Bob Docherty came and reviewed books for the seniors and Zac Harding from Christchurch City Libraries came to read to everyone else.
A great week with everyone sharing stories and reading, so well done. Thank you from all the book team.

Next week is book week. Yahoo. Lots to read, competitions to enter, books to buy. A week full of fun.
Dress up parade is Thursday so start thinking about your favourite book character or your favourite champion.
We have redecorated our Enchanted Tree in the library. Many of the characters are reading books. Pop in a have a look.
It was lovely to see the book club members all excited about promoting book week to classes today. They looked wonderful in their costumes and really are great role models for the younger children.
Watch out for Book Week in week five this term. Lots of competitions, visitors and of course wonderful new books to buy.
Thanks book club – you were awesome.
I hope you all had a lovely holiday and are keen to get back in to school. This is going to be a very busy term. We had the Olympic Games, and Arts fortnight, Wearable arts, and Maths Week.
But the best will Book Week in week 5. Lots of competitions and prizes to win. Heaps of new books to buy and lots of special visitors.
One of the competitions will be to make your own book trailer based on one of your favourite books.
Check out these two below.
“The worst thing about my sister” by Jacqueline Wilson (a great year 5-6 read)
Or you could try this form of book trailer.
Ivy and Bean : Doomed to dance
By Annie Barrows. Super read for the year 3 and 4 girls.
Perhaps you and your friends could act out your own trailer. You will need to get started soon if you want to impress the judges.
Wow! We loved him. He was so funny and so entertaining.
Take a look at what Alex T and Henry H from room 10 have done.
Yes. It’s finally here and the place is buzzing.
Here are the competitions we ran as part of book week 2008. The first five of these are links to download PDF documents:
This story is about a boy that hates seeing his Aunty. She is called Aunty Elsie. All the time Andy tries to run away but Aunty Elsie is too quick and Andy is too slow and Aunty Elsie just puts her arms around Andy and kiss on the left cheek and kiss on the right cheek.
“Yuck yuck,” said Andy and they all came the same. Andy just squeezes his eyes and tries to get out but he can’t.
By Lucy
The story “Tom and Jerry” is based on a mouse and a cat and a very funny story. Jerry (the mouse) is running away from Tom (the cat) and pulling pranks on Tom. Tom tries to chase Jerry. I like it because it is so funny and so childish.
