Chapman Primary School ACT - Our whole school once again participated in this year's ClassroomsCare project with much enthusiasm and dedication. We all enjoyed reading books so others could have the same opportunity. We valued the generosity shown to our community during the Canberra bush fires many years ago and are always happy to contribute to help and support other children in need. We hope that these children enjoy reading their new books as much as we enjoyed reading for them. Our thanks go to Scholastic for creating such a wonderful opportunity for us to participate in.

Room 22 - Year 3 Forest Crescent Primary School has had a reading adventure as we have worked our way through 100 books this term. We discovered we could read anytime, anywhere, for pleasure or information. We read alone, with a friend and in small groups. We shared the books we love with each other and learnt new and exciting information along the way. Knowing we were helping to give books to children in need gave us encouragement to reach the target!

Our Year 3 class at Forest Crescent Primary School have achieved the challenge of reading 100 books. We enjoyed reading a wide variety of books, sometimes taking advantage of fine days to read outside in the fresh air. We started recommending books to each other and some of us even discovered a new favourite author or book series. It has been a worthwhile and challenging experience.

KE at Holy Spirit Primary School have been bringing in books for the teacher to read from their own home library. Every day Miss Elliott reads a couple of the books, and the children who brought them in were able to colour the letter.
