Book+week+activities

__** We had an amazing book week at Lyttelton Main school from 5th - 11th November. **__ **Our opening event : The Teddy Bears Picnic,** with our reading buddies, was rained off. So we had a picnic in the hall! The juniors created great teddy art work. **T﻿he book fair** opened daily in the hall before and after school for book sales timed for Christmas. LMS parents are $2000 poorer but their children's lives will be enriched with some beautiful and exciting books, also the school received $600 of books on commission. Many thanks to all parents/whanau who supported the fair as helpers or by buying the books. **WE enjoyed buddy reading everday at 12.15** some of the seniors in room 3 made beautiful books to share with us. The juniors also went to **Lyttelton Kindy** to read their stories to the preschoolers. We had a junior school **book quiz** and senior school book quiz, matching the author with the book title; the juniors were SO clever I will have to make it harder next year! The senior students had **visits from 2 authors: Leonnie Thorpe and Julie Folkers. The juniors** also had Christine C.C.C.local librarian come for the teddy bears picnic and a story time session with them. Julie stayed for our Book Character Parade- the grand finale of the week- as a judge of **//The Most Authentic Book Character//** and Christine, one of our local C.C.C librarians, judged **//The Most Creative Book Character Costume//** from each class- no enviable task! media type="custom" key="7534189" Room1- Miranda Carsen as Dorothy Room 2 -Poppy Heyward as Cinderella Room 3 -Logan Buckley as the Mad Hatter Room 4 -Becky McMullon as Santa's Little helper Room 5 -Samantha Knewstubbs as Rabbit Room 6 -Otis Wallis as Dr Who Room 7 -Austin Rowe as The Big Bad Wolf Room1- Ihorangi Rewiti- Peters as the Pirate Room 2 -Toby Finlay Bliss as Puff The Magic Dragon Room 3- Brydee Rutherford as The Wonkey Donkey Room 4- Jeremy Gray as Garfield Room 5- Elizabeth Finlay Bliss as The Chocolate Monster Room 6- Joe Marshall as Stanley Room 7- Alex Carne as Paddington
