The students at Holy Family Luddenham have been diving head first into Book Week with an awesome Book Week Parade including a visit from Australian author/illustrator Matt Cosgrove!
Our Book Week celebrations were a little different this year due to COVID-19! However, our families of students in Kindergarten to Year 2 went to great lengths to prepare awesome costumes for the parade! We love Book Week as it's always great family fun and promotes the enjoyment of reading!
As part of Book Week celebrations, the Holy Family school community was very lucky to get a visit from the talented author and illustrator, Matt Cosgrove! Matt Cosgrove is best known by the students for his "Macca the Alpaca" books, which have always proved popular in the school library.
Matt inspired the children to read and write more with his humorous discussion about where to find inspiration for creative writing. He also entertained the children with a drawing demonstration and showed them how to turn Macca the Alpaca in different characters.
