**Book Week @ St Patrick's Primary School**

**August 20 - 26, 2011**

Welcome to the Book Week Wiki for St Patrick's Primary School!

This year's theme is **'One World, Many Stories'** and we have many stories to share with you from our school. Have a browse through some of the activities and challenges on this Wiki promoting Book Week, reading, storytelling - and check out the links to authors, games and join in and have some fun! Remember. . ..

 //Books are like seeds.// //The more we read, // //the more our knowledge grows // //and the better our understanding ////of the // //world ////and each other becomes. //

**A Galaxy of Books: Scholastic Book Fair ** This will be held on Thursday August 18th in the Activities/OOSH room at school. Students and parents will be able to browse through the books on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and then purchase books on Thursday. Parents please note - you can also use the Book Fair order form if your child cannot attend the fair and you would like to purchase a book for them. These will be available in the front office the week before the Fair.

Get on board and take the challenge! Each challenge has a link in the navigation bar to it's own page. See if you can complete one or all of the challenges and hand them in to Mrs Gittins by **TUESDAY AUGUST 23rd**. All correctly completed challenges will go in to the draw for a prize on Book Parade Day!
