“One of the greatest gifts adults can give – to their offspring and to their society – is to read to children."

– Carl Sagan

 HOUSEKEEPING 

Your child will not be borrowing from the library during their last library lesson this term. This is to allow time for all students to have their books returned prior to the holidays and for all books to be available for borrowing in Term Two. Over the next two weeks, please remind your child to return their library books. 

 PREMIER'S READING CHALLENGE

The Premier’s reading challenge has been underway for a few weeks now. 

The Challenge aims to encourage a love of reading for leisure and pleasure in students, and to enable them to experience quality literature. It is not a competition but a challenge to each student to read, to read more and to read more widely. This is a wonderful initiative and we strongly encourage all students to take part! 

The passwords for the challenge are auto generated through the PRC website and remain the same each year. Students K - 2 have had their passwords sent home, along with passwords for new students to the school. If your child has previously taken place in the challenge, their passwords remain the same.  

If you wish for your child to take place in the challenge and need another copy of the password please contact Mrs Biviano or Mrs Mammone to assist with this.

HOLIDAY READING

Sharing stories often begins with reading aloud. Reading aloud provides a number of opportunities and benefits for children of all ages. Encouraging a child’s love of reading is a partnership between home and school. Please encourage your child to continue to read books over the holidays. These can be from your collections at home, borrowed from the local library or from an online library like SORA. 

Keep Reading, 

Mrs Biviano and Mrs Mammone
