Book Award winners announced

Kindy, year 1 and year 2 have been reading all the early childhood books shortlisted by the Children's Book Council of Australia and then voted for their favourite one. While most of the students liked all the books we read, the majority  prefered....
  • The Deep End,
  • It's Bedtime William and
  • The Tall Man and the 12 Babies,
...... however, only one of these received an Honour award and none of them won!
The winner is ....

    Maudie and Bear!

The two books to receive an Honour Award [runners' up] were....
  • The Tall Man and the 12 Babies   and
  • Look See, Look at me 
I think that the judges are looking for a number of things other than what is just popular - we were obviously just looking at what we liked! 

We celebrated book week with a competition for the best bookmark for years K - 2 and the best poster or bookmark for years 3 -6. Winners will be announced on Monday 29th of August. It has been hard to choose a winner for each grade as there have been some excellent entries  :-).....
