Class 3-6 children came to school dressed as their favourite character from a book in the first Inaugural Book Week Celebrations held at Glenaeon! A mood of joy and appreciation was everywhere as teachers dressed as their favourite book character and entertained the children with an enactment of The Elephant and the Blind Man at the Primary Book Week Assembly.

Diana Drummond, our Head of School thoroughly enjoyed her role under the elephant skin as the elephant head and played a very convincing part! The children shared fascinating stories about the book character that inspired them with their creative and entertaining costumes.

Class 6 enjoyed a visit from well-known children’s authors Kate and Jol Temple (also Glenaeon parents) who gave a workshop about being an author and the writing process.:
Lana B., a Class 6 student wrote the following about the workshop by Kate and Jol Temple:

“Kate and Jol Temple gave Class 6 the gift of teaching the class about the magical world of literature. The second Kate and Jol started talking they instantly captured me. They especially taught us about how fun writing a story is!

We learnt about various things like how they design the cover art of a book (that was really cool); what goes into writing a story and so much more.

They generously gave one of their brand-new books called, “Bush Turkey Home and Hosed”, to the Junior Library.

I would like to say a big thank you on behalf of my class for this amazing presentation”
