Book Week- Character Parade

What an amazing array of costumes we had in Room 16. Well done to everyone.










Book Week Guest Visits


On Thursday 4 August Zeebong (Lewis Carol) came to visit and tell us stories. We found him very entertaining. He called teachers up to act out characters (Mrs Boyle was a girl called Cassie) and Xavier and Leo had parts too! He asked people to pick a square on the "story quilt" and then he told us the story related to that square.




On Friday 5 August Stu Duval came to tell stories and give us some lessons on how to draw characters. We were all enthralled by his story about the "book monster".
