“Look at me! Look at me! Look at me now! It is fun to have fun but you have to know how.” These wise words were uttered by The Cat in the Hat, one of Dr Seuss’ well known storybook characters. This week at Railway Town promises to be a place of great excitement, not only for the students, but also for staff as we enter into a world of fun and make believe. On Wednesday, the school will become one giant story book full of characters from different places, times and lands. Our current generation of students are being brought up in ever changing world of technology, but a good book, a classic story, a memorable character, are moments in a child’s life that will stay with them forever and ever. In the words of Dr Seuss, “You are never too old, too whacky or wild to pick up a book and read to a child”. I would like to invite our parents and grandparents to bring along their favourite picture book or short story on Wednesday to read to their child and classmates. We look forward to seeing everyone on our special day to helping us to celebrate Book Week.

parade and children are asked to dress-up as a favourite character from a book. Prizes will be

awarded for best costumes. Each year, schools and public libraries across Australia spend a week

celebrating books and Australian authors and illustrators. Classroom teachers, teacher librarians

and public librarians develop activities, offer competitions and tell stories relating to a theme to

highlight the importance of reading.

Here are some ideas to help you.
