Spinifex State College Junior Campus teachers dressed up for the start of Book Week to encourage students to be captivated by books.
Shaye MacLeod, deputy principal of Spinifex State College Junior Campus, said the students participated in a range of activities.
“A Letters and Numbers Competition, a Match the Teacher to their Favourite Book Competition, an Anagram-Tangram Competition, as a well as a 16-round book voting competition where two books go up against each other each day and the students vote for their favourite until we reach the winning book,” Ms MacLeod said.
“The activities are also part of Literacy and Numeracy Week that is coming up and are designed to encourage and foster a love of reading with our students.”
Townview State School library assistant Ms Pat Newman said she loves seeing students reading and looking at books and what a better time than Book Week to promote books.
“As long as a child can pick up a book, that’s what I like to see,” she said.
“I think they (students) share in the love of reading and looking at the books authors and illustrators have picked for the year.”
This year’s theme for Book Week was ‘Shine a light on Books’.
