Book Week Term 3


This week is Book week.
We were so lucky to have Mark Laurent come visit us and read his fantastic book about
Rufus and the Rain.
We all enjoyed this story as well as listening to Mark and Brenda sing some thoughtful, but funny songs.
 


  
We got to bring in our special friends to listen to the stories.
 
 
 
 
                       

 
 
   
 
  
 




To end our Book Week we got to dress up as our favourite book character.
 
We had such a great time!
