I just wanted to write a quick note about the OLC great book swap for Book Week 2015.
This year for the first time, we will be participating in a Great Book Swap on the same day as out book week dress up day. Over the next few weeks students are asked to bring in between one and three favourite books that they have loved but are ready to swap for a different book. We ask that books be in good condition and suitable for students the SAME AGE as your child. A box has been placed in our classroom to collect contributions which will need to be in by Friday August 31.
On our Book Week Dress up day, these books will be set up for the students to peruse and swap for a gold coin donation. This year we are raising money for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation to help promote literacy in remote Australian communities. It's a win-win situation! Our students get a new book or two for a gold coin and our school raises money for those children less fortunate than we are.
Please keep an eye out for Book Week dress up information and some fun and easy ideas for dress ups!
Hope you have a great day off tomorrow!
Miss Prowse
