Dear All,

Next week is Book Week at Holy Trinity. Please read below....

• On Wednesday, 23^rd August, we will once again have our famous Holy Trinity Book Week Parade…. students are invited to come to school in a costume /outfit that reflects a book character that they love or enjoy.
• It is always great if your child knows what character they are. If possible, send in a copy of the book they are using or even a picture of the front cover.
• Weather permitting, we will meet on the black top at 9.10am and have our Book Week Parade.
• Parents, carers and grandparents are most welcome to come along (if needed - BYO chair).
• After our parade, the children will then head to the hall to celebrate the winning books.
• Here is the Book Week shortlist for 2023…

• There will be prizes given across the grades for best dressed or original outfit. The theme for Book Week 2023 is ‘Read, Grow, Inspire’. I find that Pinterest is a great resource to check out costume ideas.

Next…

• Kate and Jol Temple (our fabulous visiting authors) will be here on Wednesday, 30^th August,
• There will be three sessions with Kate and Jol…
  ELC – Year 2 will unpack the Bin Chicken books.
  Years 3/4 will work with their Underdog series.
  Year 5/6 will look at graphic novels and what goes on behind the scenes when writing a book.
• Please check out Kate and Jol’s website….http://katejoltemple.com/
• At the bottom of ‘Library News’ I have attached the flyer to pre order and have books signed by Kate and Jol before they arrive.

But wait there is more…

• Story Box Library https://storyboxlibrary.com.au/ is an online resource that Holy Trinity subscribes to. It is a wonderful resource that families can access at home. This year Story Box Library has put together a selection of books that are on the 2023 Book Week Shortlist. If you get a moment over the weekend, please let your children watch a few of the shortlisted books.
