At Preston North East Primary School, we love books and we love reading. So, Book Week is a highlight of our annual calendar.
The week is filled with fun and engaging activities celebrating great Australian authors and books. In classes we read the shortlisted books and vote for our favourite one. The most popular one is read at assembly.
We do art activities around the shortlisted books and buddy reading with students from different year levels. We have an author visit the school and speak to the students and a second-hand book stall where students buy or swap hundreds of books.
The highlight of the week, where students and families show off their creativity, is character dress-up day. We have a special assembly to parade the wonderful characters attending school for the day!
