On Wednesday 21st August, our school celebrated Book Week and held our annual Book Week Parade. All of the students and teachers were asked to come to school dressed as a character from a book. We were impressed at the creativity of some of the students with their amazing costumes.

The parade was held at 2.00pm and all of our families were invited to attend. We enjoyed watching the parade and cheering for the younger students, and of course, we loved showing off our own costumes.
What did you come dressed as?
What did you think was the best costume of the day?
Did you buy a book at the Aboriginal Book Swap?

Hi Marsden,

I really enjoyed book week as I came dressed as ZsasZ from Batman: Knightfall.
My favourite costume was Ron's Eyeless Jack mask as it was really spooky!
I bought 7 books from the book swap!

Hello Marsdens,

I dressed up as Karate Kid at the Book Week Parade. I really enjoyed every single costume that was in the parade everyone dressed up very well. I very much enjoyed the Aborginal Book Swap I bought 13 books it was a great bargain with just 10 books for just a dollar.

How many books did you buy?

Kind regards, Param

Hello Marsden

It sounds like you had alot of fun. I wasn't at scool that day because I was sick.

If I came I would have dressed up as a vampire. Looking at the pictures I would say stitch was the best.

Which teacher looked the best?

Hi Marsden,

I really enjoyed Book Week as I dressed up as Linda from the book Africa Dream. My favourite costume was Mrs Jackson's Humpty Dumpty costume because it really stood out from what the other teathers dressed up as!

Yes, I did buy books from the Aboriginal Book Swap. I actually bought 6 books for just $1!

Frank

Hello Marsden

I really enjoyed Book Week and i dressed up as Eyeless Jack. My favourite costume was Lisa Ice King costume because this year kids and teacher got really creative and something new and Lisa's was dressed up as one of my favourite characters in my favourite tv show.

No, I did not buy a book from the Aboriginal Book swap because I did not have money at the time.

Sincerely
Ron

Hi Mrs Chegwidden and Marsden,

I loved Book Week, it was so fun! I came dressed up as Stitch. My favourite costume was Mrs Russo, she came dressed as Flash. I also liked Mrs Jackson's costume, she came dressed as Humpty Dumpty. I didn't buy a book but I really wanted to buy a maths book for highschool but someone bought it already.

Did you enjoy being in your costume all day and why?
Did you like your costume?

Hi Renee,

I did enjoy being in my costume all day because it was comfortable. I bet you enjoyed being in your Stitch onesie!

I think my costume was alright, but not the best one.

Was it hard to find a onesie to wear?

Hi Marsden and Mrs Chegwidden,

I thoroughly enjoyed the Bookweek Parade!

I dressed up as Katniss Everdeen from the books/movie, the Hunger Games.

I think the best costume of the day was Mrs Jackson's one, she was Humpty Dumpty!

Unfortunately, I didn't buy a book at the Aboriginal Book Swap because there weren't many books suitable for me.

What will you dress up as next time it is the Bookweek Parade?

I was dressed up as Zorro the famous muskateer but my costume didn't include a sword but a whip. It was cool and I learned myself to use it. The one that was funny is shawn's costumme because he's costume was a troll. The one I liked was Aditya's because it was funny how his costume scared vinit because he thought it was the real thing.

Hi Marsden! I was so delighted to get your email and have thoroughly enjoyed the chance to visit your Blog.

I came as 'The Best cow in the Show' to the Currans Hill Book Parade and sat with the Federal Member in a cow onesie ... hilarious!!!! I miss you heaps, but am very happy and enjoying the challenges of my new school.

Hi Mrs Flegg

Who do you think has the best costume just by looking at the pictures?

My favourite is stitch(Renee). I never got to dress up because I was away and sick. But if I wasn't I would have came as a vampire.

Hi Marsden,

The Book Week Parade looks like it was a lot of fun again this year! I'm sorry I missed it. It's nice to see that many of you put effort into dressing up.

Hi Mrs Williams,

Thank you for you kind opinion on my costume.Yes indeed, the Book Week parade was very, very fun and exciting! This year more people participated and came dressed up better than last year.

The stage 3 teachers came dressed up as Paper Bag Princess. I thought they looked unbelievably awesome because I've never seen any teacher come dressed up is such clothing!

If you were still at our school, who would you have dressed up as?

Sincerely,
Frank
