Book Week

Once you learn to read, you will be forever free."

Hello boys and girls! This is a very special week for our school, it's book week and we have lots of activities going on. We remind you about some of them: 

Book campaign: We need to collect all of your old books (in good conditions). They will be taken to Huillinco Alto School in Contulmo. You need to take the books to the Junior Library and your school house will get one point per book. 

Dress your door: You will dress our classrooms' doors with different inventions and information related to books. We will work in groups and creatively.

Class book creation: We will create a book (as a class) about a specific topic. 

Poster promoting reading: You will create posters to promote reading in the school. You can work on this at home and bring them to be shared with our community. You can also use any free time at school to work on this. 

Readathon: You can visit the Junior Library and read from 40 to 120 minutes (you have to pay $500 every 40 mins). You will get 5 points for your school house every 40 mins you read!! All the money collected will be used to buy new dictionaries, which are always needed.

Book parade: You will have the chance to come dressed up as your favorite book characters. You have to make your own costume creatively (please do not rent).

Sharing Assembly: The theatre company "El Diluvio" will visit us. 

We really hope you enjoy all the variety of activities you will be involved in during this week. Remember, reading can be a special activity which you honor everyday by reading even just a little bit. 

Please, tell us about your favorite book in the comment section! Who did write it? Why do you like it? How did that book get to you? Thanks in advance for sharing with us.
