Books come alive thanks to students’ dress creativity

BOOK week celebrations have been happening in schools across the country this week, including St Mary’s Primary School in Swan Hill and Nyah District Primary School.

Students and staff dressed as characters from their favourite books, including classics like Snow White and The Cat in the Hat, to Harry Potter and 101 Dalmatians.

Students at Nyah District have been celebrating book week by participating in a variety of different activities.

Each classroom door was decorated by students to represent a favourite book, and there was also a collection of Where’s Wally hidden around the school in various locations for students to find.

Throughout the week, students were also treated to some special visitors coming to the school to read to them, including Leading Senior Constable Andrew Downes, Damien Murray from the Swan Hill Regional Library outreach van, councillor Nicole McKay and yoga instructor Nicole Cutri, who also involved the students in some yoga stretches.
