@ The Library
After much anticipation Book Week finally arrived! The shortlisted books are on display in the library.
Mrs H has been reading the books in library time and the students have produced beautiful artwork for the colouring competition.
We enjoyed a wonderful Book Character Dress Up Day last Friday. We were so impressed with the standard of the costumes. Many thanks to all the supportive families. Staff enjoyed dressing up too!
Author/Illustrator Visits
We were delighted to welcome author/illustrator Yvonne Mes. Her latest book is The Opal Dinosaur, which is the true story of the discovery of a new Australian dinosaur with very special bones! Yvonne gave entertaining and interactive presentations of The Opal Dinosaur and Oliver’s Grumbles, and also a writer’s workshop.
We also welcomed Kristen Willis, CBCA shortlisted illustrator of Peek-a-Boo Lottie. Peek-a-Boo is played around the world in different languages and Lottie loves playing Peek-a-Boo most of all! Kristen joined us for a creative drawing workshop, and we are proud to display the beautiful artwork in the library.
The Premier’s Reading Challenge 2025 ended on 22nd August.
We have been very impressed with the excitement this challenge has generated and the number of students participating. We certainly love reading at Kenmore State School!
Students who have completed the challenge will receive a certificate from the Premier of Queensland later in the year. Students who have not quite completed the challenge will receive a participation certificate.
