Redlands House and PreKindergarten
Book Week – Week 5
Book Week is nearly here, and we are excited about the 2024 theme, Reading is Magic. The purpose of Book Week is to foster a love of reading, and to celebrate children’s literature. For that reason, we will celebrate in the Preparatory School by looking at two Australian picture books, The Concrete Garden by Bob Graham and an oldie, but goodie, The Magic Hat by Mem Fox.
On Tuesday 20 and Friday 23, your child can come to school wearing a magic hat! They may wear just a hat, or the hat may be part of a whole outfit. Please talk to your child about who wears hats. It might be a book character. For example, a wizard or a goblin, but it might also be part of a person’s work clothes outfit. For example, a chef, fireman, magician, cowboy etc. Talk about the magic that their hat might possess. What can it do
The Reading Is Magic theme for 2024 brings with it an air of wonderment, highlighting fantastical stories, spellbinding narratives and the wizardry of words that can whisk us away from our daily realities to worlds unknown.
Please drop in to the Lucy Hill Library if you would like more information or to have a chat with Mrs Roberts about the events of the week. It is sure to be a lot of fun.
Senior and PreK Sports Carnival
We are excited to announce that on Wednesday 4 September, our Senior and PreK students will be participating in a small athletics carnival on the Prep School Oval from 11:30am to 12:30pm. This special event is a wonderful opportunity for our students to spend time in the Prep School environment, helping to prepare them for their transition to Kindergarten. We warmly invite parents and families to join us, watch the events, and cheer on the children as they take part in this fun and important occasion.
Please mark your calendars—we look forward to seeing you there!
