Did Someone Say “Book Tasting”!
Many of the CVPS classes have been enjoying the unique experience of book tasting at our very own Literacy Café. Students have had the opportunity to ‘taste’ entrée, main and dessert and enjoy the flavours of many new and interesting books. The excitement of the session has been highly energising for everyone! There have been numerous students walking out with a ‘doggy bag’ containing at least one of the ‘meals’ that they enjoyed best!
Premiers Reading Challenges
We have so many children that have been busily reading and bringing in their challenge sheets early. The closing date for this is 4th of September, so you still have plenty of time to continue enjoying those books.
Keep an eye out for the STEM challenge and Indonesian challenge that will be taking place again this year.
Great Book Swap
Early next term the students at CVPS will be taking part in the Great Book Swap. Students will be asked to bring in a good quality book, that they have really enjoyed and think someone else would like too.
All the donated books will then be displayed, and on the day children will be able to bring a gold coin donation to buy one of the donated book. All donations will go to the Indigineous Literacy Foundation to raise money for books for many indigenous communities. The idea is to swap a favourite book in exchange for a gold coin donation. We are raising money for the Lungkura house.
