John Heffernan (My Dog Kosovo) to have a Skype interview with the Year 5 boys.
Karen Blaire (Granny Grommet and With Nan) to visit the Year 1 and Year 3 classes.

- 3 Year 5 boys to go to MLC to represent Scotch in the Reader's Challenge
- Special Reading Guests to visit the Year 1 and 2 classes to read a short-listed story
- The Book Week Presentation and the following home activity (based on Shaun Tan's book Rules of Summer) listed below. Please encourage your son to be involved:
Goals:
