We had a most successful celebration of reading on Thursday.
Thank you to all the parents, friends, staff and students who took part in some way to make our celebration of reading such a success!!
I was able to select just over $2000 worth of books, that the children had suggested, with the commission. These books will be added to our current selection in the library as soon as we can get them processed and ready for reading!!
Our P&C generously donated $500 for board games for classes this week.
What good timing!! BTN showed this program last week about board games:(You can access BTN archives and view past episodes.)
From all the kids and the staff at SBPS I wish to publicly say: Thank you to all the parents who helped to raise the money for the kids to have these games in their classrooms.
As a parent you might be thinking: "Why play games at school? There is so much learning to do..." but as Kirsty says on the program: "Thinking before you take action is one of many skills these students have learnt. There's also problem solving, developing strategy, using your memory and being a good sport. And it's a good way to improve your social skills."
Have a chat with your kids: What board games would they like to have in their classroom?
Please feel welcome to share them here on this blog. :)

Announcing the 2011 SBPS Bookfair!!!
Our annual Book Fair is coming up on Thursday 26th May.This is a great way to provide more stimulating books for your children to read and a great way to highlight and celebrate the joy of reading!

We look forward to seeing lots of parents and friends join us on this day for a huge celebration of “reading.” Students can come to school dressed up as any one of their favourite book characters.
We encourage, where possible, students to bring along a book that displays their character for sharing with visitors and their classmates. It can be a book from home, the public library, Grandma’s or our library...
Parents and family are welcome to join their children for recess and then a brief book sharing time in the classroom.
The Book Character Parade will commence at 12.15. Parents and friends are also welcome to join their children for lunch. Our canteen will be catering for this event.
After each class presents their book characters in the parade we will do 1 x lucky draw for a “poster pick” from the Bookfair = 13 lucky winners!!
