Last week was Book Week and our students were busy all week reading and being creative with this year's theme "Curious Creatures - Wild Minds". We weren't able to have a dress up day for families to come and watch this year but it didn't stop 12C making their own costumes and having a parade!

4/5A:
4/5A visualised their ideal book week costume and drew the character that inspired the costume

Specialist Art:
4/5s: Kindness keepers (keyrings) in response to Bat vs Poss.
F/1s: Animal hats in response to 'When Billy was a Dog'.
