Book Week 2020
The Children’s Book Council of Australia Book Week will be celebrated from the 17th-23rd of October 2020. In Book Week, schools and public libraries across Australia spend a week celebrating books, and Australian authors and illustrators. Students at St Clare’s have been busy exploring the wonderful books that have made the shortlist for the prestigious CBCA Book of the Year Awards. St Clare’s will be joining in the Book Week fun with a Book Character Dress Up Parade in Week 3 of Term 3, on Tuesday, 20th of October. The theme of the parade is ‘Curious Creatures’. It is a great theme, and one that is easy to create a simple dress up costume around. Please start talking to your children about the curious creatures in the books that they enjoy and use these conversations to help them think of ideas for a ‘curious creature’ costume for our Book Week Book Character Dress Up Parade. Find out more about some of the curious creatures found in the books shortlisted for book of the year at https://cbca.org.au/shortlist-2020
Happy Reading!
