Book Fair

BOOK FAIR

Our Book Fair has been here for 2 days and we have had a lot

of excitement.

Many classes have already visited the Book Fair and purchased books.

Every class will visit the Book Fair during school coming to the Book Fair on their library day.

Children will have a chance to browse and they will be given a WISH LIST showing books they would like from the Fair.

This is a good way for them to be able to share their

wishes at home!

If you wish to purchase any books from the Wish List please return it to school along with proof of online payment or cash so that the books can be given to the child.

Children will be able to bring money to purchase books on the day that they are scheduled to come to the Fair.

Please provide the money in an envelope clearly marked with their name and class

and give it to your child, teacher or the school office.
