On week three of Term 3 2015 Millthorpe Public School held our annual book parade and book fair. The theme of this year's book week was 'Books Light Up Our World'. There were lots of fantastic costumes to be seen on the day. The different characters included
Harry Potter, lots of
Terrys and Andys from the Story Treehouse,
Tashi, the
Cat in the Hat, the
Secret Garden, and
Rainbow Magic characters. All the staff were dressed up as well, with the teachers all dressed up as characters from
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the support staff came as
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Some other characters included
Zac Powers,
Pearlie, and
Jack and Ann.
I interviewed Miss Jordan, our school librarian, to find out what she thought of this year's book parade. Here's what she had to say:
What was your favourite costume?
Me, of course, as Willy Wonka!
Were the costumes different to last year?
Yes! They were way more inventive.
Was there a character that you haven't seen before that you saw this year?
Yes! There were plenty more non-fiction book characters.
If you could dress up as any character who would it be?
Arthur Dent from The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy because he wears pyjamas and a dressing gown!
Which teacher do you think had the best costume?
Me! Willy Wonka because of the top hat - I love top hats!
What a great book parade and book fair we had this year. Everybody had a fantastic day and I can't wait until next year. I have already started planning my costume!
