Birthday Celebrations
In Pre-Primary we celebrate birthdays in a ‘special way.
We treat our class to a birthday book rather than a sugary treat on our birthday!
A new or used book may be wrapped as gift and the book will be opened in front of the class. It will then be read to the class as part of your child’s celebration. Your child’s name will be written on the inside cover of the book and become part of our ‘birthday book library’.
In Pre-Primary we want to instil a love of books and reading in all children. We believe our ‘Birthday Book’ Library will support literacy development in the classroom and school.
If your child has a summer birthday and you would still like to celebrate at school, please let us know and we can organise a special day for them to share a book.
Participation is certainly optional - please feel free to discuss your book choice with your teacher if needed.
