Anyone is welcome to come along and join in on the activity that is happening that day. Here are some of the activities that students are involved in as part of Book Club:
 * Students choose a book to read with a group. They read at home and discuss the book with other students in Book Club sessions. Students focus on delving deeply into characters and they also discuss the authors message portrayed in the text.
 * Students hold special reading sessions for younger students. They choose a picture book to read and students from Prep to Grade 6 can come and listen to a picure story book.
 * Students use this Wiki to discuss the texts they are reading as a group and they also have their own page to express their reading interests.
 * Students run writing competitions throughout the school.
 * Students organise and act in plays for students to watch at lunchtime.

** At the moment the students are working on their own pages. Take some time to have a look and find out about the latest books they have read. **

At the moment, we are working on plays.

** Term 3 Writing Competition: I wish I was.... ** This term we are having a writing competition. This writing competition isn't the same as any past competitions. Instead of a genre, we will give you a sentence starter and you have to write a story about it. On Monday the 19th, some of us will read out our beginnings of our stories for you so you can get more ideas. We will be looking at all the things that make a good writing piece. Make sure you have a good start and interesting words. There will be a winner for each year level.

**IF YOU ARE FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO FIND A BOOK TO READ, HAVE A LOOK AT THE STUDENTS PAGES TO FIND HEAPS OF BOOK REVIEWS THEY HAVE POSTED!**
