From Halfway Around the World
What a Story!
Bateau Bay Public School wrapped up Book Week with a fun performance by Stephen the Storyteller presenting stories From Halfway Around the World.
We heard a tall story about a helicopter landing on the school roof and SAS soldiers descending on ropes into our midst!
We learnt a chant from America and cheered like a cheer squad.
Cheer!
We appreciated the saying, slow and steady wins the race in the fable, The Hare and the Tortise.
Slow and steady wins the race!
There was even a funny gnome in a fairytale!
Look at my legs!
We performed the Haka!
How cool! Children from cold countries get to skate on frozen lakes in the
w
inter!
What a great end to Book Week! We loved Stephen and his stories From Halfway Around the World!
Book Week/Education Week Parade – One World Many Stories
Characters from our favourite stories and others dressed in cultural costumes from around the world graced our Book Week/Education Week parade. SpongeBob Square Pants made a special appearance as our beloved Master of Ceremonies, AKA - Mrs A!

What are we waiting for?
So many stories, so many people!
Author Visit
Recently local author, Lisa Sheehy, spent some time with us in the library. Lisa shared her new book, Angel Archie to the Rescue, with students from Kindergarten to Year 3. What a treat! Lisa was an entertaining and inspirational guest. The children loved her! They thought she looked more like a princess than an author! After Lisa and Archie’s visit we were all closing the doors and curtains to keep warm rather than turning on heaters! They certainly made us want to help look after our environment. Thanks Lisa and Archie, we hope you visit us again soon.

Author Talk
Yesterday five of our Year Five students attended an author talk at the Tuggerah Lakes Secondary College – Berkeley Vale Campus. Gabrielle Lord talked about her new, explosive 12 book series called, Conspiracy 365.
January
Conspiracy 365 is a new series for 11 to 14 year old readers, including both boys and girls. The main character, Callum Ormond has been warned that people are out to kill him. He has 365 days to figure out the mystery surrounding his father’s death and save his own life. For more information go to http//www.conspiracy365.com/
Several students bought a copy of January, the first book in the series, and Gabrielle Lord signed it for them. The students have become so captivated by the storyline that they haven’t been able to put the book down since yesterday! We will have the series available in our school library for borrowing in 2011.
Many thanks to The Tuggerah Lakes Secondary College – Berkeley Vale Campus for inviting us to such a great treat!
