12 PARENT REFLECTION Natasha McMillan Literacy Week 2020 in our household was full of excitement. Everyday Annika (2A) and Elodie (Prep B) dressed up as a different book character which made our mornings fun, interesting and, to be honest, hectic. Being in lockdown had dampened their spirits but Literacy Week changed that. They were excited every day to get dressed up, meet their visiting author and to ask them questions. They loved to listen to the teachers read their favourite books, all the while waiting to find the vital clue! They enjoyed all the activities that were available. Both Annika and Elodie love reading, so being able to celebrate all week was the highlight of Term 3. STAFF REFLECTION Mrs Samantha Alexander It’s a week of settings, characters and books.
