Book Week ā Day 5
For our final day of Book Week, we truly immersed ourselves in the spirit of the stories we love. The Gumnut and Gumleaf Room were bursting with colour, creativity, and excitement as children brought their favourite characters to life through costume and play.
We were thrilled to welcome some of the Flintstones, who brought prehistoric fun and laughter, along with Spotāthe beloved little pup from some of our favourite early childhood stories. Adding to the magic was a very special bumblebee, buzzing with joy and wonder, spreading smiles throughout the room.
The children shone with pride as they shared their characters and the stories behind them, sparking beautiful conversations and moments of imaginative play. From roaring dinosaurs to curious explorers, every corner of the room told a different story.
Itās been an incredible week celebrating books, storytelling, and the joy of reading. Watching the children express themselves so creatively and confidently has been a true highlight. Weāve had such a wonderful time and are already looking forward to doing it all again next yearābigger, brighter, and even more magical! šāØš§”

The day was filled with creative energy and excitement as students and staff embraced the spirit of storytelling through dress-ups and activities. We were thrilled to see incredible character duos and trios walking through the hallsāMoana and Maui made a splash with their oceanic energy, Bingo brought playful charm, Clarence the Cat added a touch of quiet curiosity, and Miss Rachel lit up the room with her warm, educational vibes.
