Reading is Magic

“Books aren't just marvellous, they are a marvel. They can transport us and transform us and return us to our original state. They are the greatest illusion. Mere words on a page when read can inspire the mind and a child to dream the impossible and head into the world in search of the possible!”

It was fabulous to see so many students and teachers dressing up as their favourite book characters! It is such a wonderful way to encourage students to engage with literature and have fun at the same time. Thank you to all the mums, dads, grandparents and carers who help design costumes and get into the Book Week spirit and also the teachers for their creative ideas, energetic personalities and love of literature to inspire their costumes last week.
