Writers Fortnight 2013

Once again, Kate Levy has put together a fantastic two-week writing event for the Middle and High School.

Click here to see the full schedule and links to the authors coming in to school to meet with students.  The same information is on display as you walk into the Secondary Library.  NB:  Parents are welcome to attend the events.

March: A Month of Rich & Mindful Reading

The whole month of March will be focused on reading in the school.

Here is an overview slideshow, presented by Ms. Day in the middle/high school assemblies.


March 5-9th is the Primary School Book Week, parts of which will involve the participation of secondary school students, e.g.,

• Poem-in-your-Pocket Tuesday -- when everyone on campus should come prepared to share a poem, whether memorized in their head or on a piece of paper in their pocket;
• Read-Aloud Wednesday when secondary school students will be paired with infant and junior school students for a read-aloud session;
• Red Dot Book Award voting, which runs for a week -- for more information, see reddotawards.com; 
• Dress-Up Friday -- when everyone comes to school dressed as a character from a book or story -- click here for some photos of teachers in previous years and a list of ideas;

Shhhhh.....

Today the library will be completely silent (unless a teacher instructs a student to speak) in support of the high school students who have volunteered to (try to) not speak all day in solidarity with those who are voiceless in the world.
