Dear Parents,

Sts Peter and Paul will be celebrating Literacy Day on the 8th of September. The theme of the day will be the 2020 Book Week theme ‘Curious Creatures, Wild Minds’. 

Curious Creatures feature prominently in children’s books and bring a wonderful sense of fantasy and imagination to children’s stories. 

As we are unable to invite special guests or parent visitors to our school at this time, I thought it would be great if some of the parent community would volunteer to record themselves reading aloud a story to their child/children and then share it with me, so I can share it with your child’s class.

Children love to listen to stories. Sharing this joyful experience with the students is a valuable way to get them on the path to loving books. Listening to others read develops an appreciation for story-telling, how a story is written and familiarity with book conventions.

Please email me if you would like to be involved in our read aloud sharing for Literacy Day.

Kind regards

Maryanne Armstrong

It is a group of very enthusiastic readers!

We enjoy the time sharing our favourite books and spending some precious time reading in a quiet spot.

Mrs Armstrong is looking forward to meeting the Book Club again next week. Everyone is welcome to join, so come along and share your love of reading.

Thanks

Mrs Armstrong
