A big thank you to Red Alert Laser Tag, Central Books, Pizza Hut Green Hills, Beresfield Bowling Club and McDonalds Thornton for being the first to offer sponsorship of our CBCA Book Week Activities this year! New Book! If you are interested in a lovely picture book with rhyming text, then why not check out The Bush Jamboree!? Whilst I have been published in magazines ranging from My Child to Practical Parenting to Scan, this is my first Children's Book. If you are interested in ordering one, they are currently $22.95 plus $3 shipping. Feel free to email me. For more information visit my writing site! Book Week We are looking forward to having the very talented Lucy Boulton Smith spend time creating Book Week art with the children! She has an amazing ability to bring out their latent creativity. If you are in the Newcastle/Maitland area, she is definitely worth a call. You can find her here. Maitland library will be performing at school for the younger classes which should be fantastic! We will also be visiting Beresfield Library to see Nettie Hilton and our year 1 students will be going to see the Book Week Performance of Storytime with Sally. A big "thank you" to Julie Swane who organises these wonderful events each year.
If you have already done some and don't mind sharing, please email me. I promise to only use them for my personal use and NOT post them here. I am keen for ideas to use with grades three and up as well! Thanks Jo Schenkel for the 4 pics 1 book idea! Stacey |
