Dear ELC Families
Students across Australia will be participating in Book Week
activities to celebrate the annual Children’s Book Council of Australia awards
between the 22nd and 26th of August.
· On Tuesday 23rd August we are
looking forward to some guest readings by staff from the wider college, keen to
share their favourite childhood books.
· On Wednesday 24th August the Town
Square Thespians will perform the traditional favourite “The Three Billy
Goats Gruff”
· On Thursday 25th August we will join
the Preparatory classes for a reading flash mob on the top oval
· On Friday 26th August we will hold
our ELC Book Week dress up parade at 9.30 in the Town Square. Children
who do not normally attend on Fridays are welcome to join us for the parade
with an accompanying adult and parents are enthusiastically invited to come and
see us parade. Please help your child choose a book character to dress
up as.
We understand that it can be difficult to dissuade your child from
movie characters and superheros but we would ask that you please avoid these
dress ups for our book character parade. We recognise that movie stars and
superheros are an important part of our children’s popular culture and so, on
Wednesday 7th September, we will be holding a special
Superhero and Movie Character dress up day.
If you are having trouble
convincing your child that Elsa was a movie character before she became a
colouring book you may like to encourage your child to save that dress up for
our Superhero and Movie Character dress up day instead!
Happy Reading
ELC staff
