Book Week In about 2 WEEKS on Tuesday 21 August, we will be celebrating Book Week and if parents, carers or other family would like to come along, you are most welcome. This year’s theme is “Find Your Treasure” because as Walt Disney once said … “There is more treasure in books than in all the Pirates’ loot on Treasure Island”. For some fun, I’ve told students they can dress up as a Pirate or their favourite character from a book.

Book Fair As well as celebrating Book Week 2018 on Tuesday 21 August, we will also have our annual Scholastic Book Fair in the Library. Everyone is welcome to come along, look and purchase from the Book Fair. All purchases from the Book Fair go towards rewards dollars for Larnook Public School to spend on books and resources. We look forward to seeing you!
