Multicultural Day at Amaroo School

This Friday Amaroo School will be celebrating Multicultural day. As the biggest school in Canberra we have students from many different cultural backgrounds. It is going to be a fabulous day of celebrating diversity and how we all contribute to make Amaroo school amazing.
In the Inspire centre we have created a special display of books about many different countries. Come and visit the library during the week to see what you can discover.

It has been a busy Term in the Inspire centre. Some of the events we have celebrated this term are Book Week, Book Fair, Indigenous Literacy Day, International Dot Day, International talk like a Pirate day. In week 10 we will celebrate Multicultural day. What an exciting term. 

 

Students have been busy borrowing books and completing the Chief Minister's Reading Challenge. We are so proud of their efforts and the amount of books they have read. One of our favourite books is 'Don't let the pigeon drive the bus' by Mo Willems. We created a special book return display for the book. 

For Book Week, year 3 students created this artwork for the shortlisted book 'Florette' by Anna Walker. It is proudly on display outside the year 3 classrooms.

You've seen the movie.....now read the book!

We have a new display in the library. 

You've seen the movie..........now read the book!

Many students visit the library to find books about their favourite movie. This is a great way to engage students in books.
