Book Week at Tiverton Library

As every day is a reading day, any week can be Book Week! Coming back to school after lockdown we felt like we had missed out. Book Week is a time when we celebrate reading and the library. So, we just named a day and by the time the week came around we could even have a live workshop presenter for Year 5 and 6.

Our lunchtime activities included;
  • Virtual Reality Literary Tours where we went into the Hogwarts Common Room, flew with dragons and went to Jurassic Park!
  • The annual quiz was a hard-fought contest coming down to the wire. Teams battled it out, ate book worms and Bertie Botts Beans between rounds.
  • Retro fun for computer age students with an old typewriter
  • Staff verse students at Scrabble
Year 5 - 6 students had a visitor join us on campus. Melbourne comic book author and illustrator, Bernard Caleo, showed students how to draw a comic book. Every student came away with their own action comic drawn in their own hand.

We have been so impressed that students continued reading in lockdown. It is so much fun to celebrate this with them now that they are back.

Thank you from the De La Salle College Library Team, Catherine Ryan, Clare Kennedy-Curtis, Letitia Mandile and Marie Andersen
