Book Week thanks!

Thank you to everyone who helped to make Book Week a success. 

A huge thanks to the teachers at WPS for all your mahi - embracing bookish activities for the week, and to the support staff for your help and support! 

Thank you to all the children in whanau harakeke who helped me with set up, wish list visits, thanking the visiting author and more.

Thank you to all the guest readers for sharing your love of books with the children.

Thank you so much to the parents who helped at the fair - it was lovely to meet some of you for the first time. You dived in at the deep end and were awesome! 

Thank you to Read NZ Te Pou Muramura for our visiting author, Weng Wai Chan, and a huge thanks to Weng Wai for your energy and enthusiasm.

Thanks to all the children and teachers who dressed up for the Book Character Parade, and the parents who went to so much effort with costumes.

It was also the first ever Aotearoa NZ School Library week, and a huge thanks to SLANZA and the sponsors for the fabulous resources.

Thank you to WPS parents and whanau for supporting the fair. We raised almost $2000 in books for the school library. It is great to be able to stock the shelves with new, exciting books for the children.

I hope I've remembered everybody. There were so many acts of kindness that week that it's a bit of a blur. 

I'll write a post on the happenings of the week soon.
