Thank you to all the families who supported our school Book Fair. This was the first time our school had hosted one in many years, and what an amazing experience it was! The children loved coming in, making wish lists and purchases, calculating change and being independent shoppers.

While others treasured sharing the experience with their family members. Either way, everyone had a great time and it was a busy hub for the four days!

We hope you enjoyed buying some lovely gifts for family members.

As a result of everyone’s wonderful support, the school raised around $1400. We will use this money to buy new books and resources for our school. A huge THANK YOU!

After the amazing and positive response to this event, we will be hosting another Book Fair next year at the same time…. just in time for some more Christmas shopping for 2022.

Once Upon A Festival at Immanuel College Excursion

On the 29^th of October, some students from Coro travelled to Immanuel College to take part in the Once Upon A Festival. Once we arrived, we got shown to our first workshop. This one was run by Andrew Joyner, who is the author of ‘Stand Up Speak Up’, ‘The Pink Hat’, and many more. He taught us how to make mini books and inspired us to use only ‘Up’ phrases, by reading his book that used this technique. We then checked out the bookshop, and the story circle, before heading to the next workshop. This one was held by Jaqueline Harvey, online, who is the author of ‘Alice Miranda’, ‘Clementine Rose’, and ‘Kensy and Max’. She ran us through how she creates her characters, and gave us tips for the ones we create, like making them feel really alive. The workshops really helped us learn about writing, and also gave us an idea of how other people plan and create their stories.
