Battle of the Books

During library time, in the lead up to Book Week, each class has been reading a variety of picture books that are nominated for the upcoming CBCA Book Awards. These awards celebrate Australian Authors and Illustrators and recognise the contribution that they make to children's literacy in Australia. Each class has voted on their favourite and when the official announcement is made at the end of next week, they will be able to see if the book they chose has won. Our Battle of the Books competition has been a fun library activity where students have had the opportunity to reflect on what they like about a book, and discuss a variety of different topics including belonging, change, family dynamics, imagination, grief and worry.
