“Wombat Stew”, read by teacher Lauren Arrel, is a favourite with young readers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

August 24, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

Schools all over the South Burnett have been celebrating reading this week with parades and special events to mark Children’s Book Week.<\/p>\n

At St Mary’s Catholic College, the traditional dress-up parade is only one part of the activities … there is also a popular Campfire Stories night.<\/p>\n

Students, parents and teachers donned their PJs on Monday evening for a night of torchlight fun.<\/p>\n

The theme for this year’s Book Week is “Australia! Story Country” so it was fitting that many of the campfire tales had an Aussie flavour.<\/p>\n

A highlight was when teachers John Dalton and Martin Perrett – complete with swag – re-enacted Murray Hartin’s bush poem “Turbulence” about NT legend Billy Hayes and a rocky trip on board an aircraft.<\/p>\n

The children also enjoyed joining in a reading of Marcia Vaughan’s picture book ‘Wombat Stew” \u00a0(gooey, brewy, yummy, chewy, wombat stew!)<\/p>\n

After the evening of reading, the students enjoyed milk and cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
