Book Week! Week 3!
3 Feb 2026

Kia ora e te whānau

We are excited to be celebrating our Book Week in Week 3 this term!

There will be exciting activities for our tamariki in class and in the wonderhub all week for them to participate in.

We want to develop a love of literacy in our tamariki and immerse them in a variety of learning activities. 

This year is looking a little different; instead of a whole school parade,  we will end the week with a 

BOOK CHARACTER DRESS UP DAY!

Students are invited to come to school dressed as their favourite character.  

We look forward to seeing our tamariki sharing their love of reading during this week.
