How one school fuelled their readers’ minds

August 21, 2008

Thanks, Deb Robins from Trinity Beach School in Cairns. Smart idea to get a smart car into your library!

Deb tells us that as the Year 7 students are looking at alternative energy this fitted the Book Week theme perfectly.

Schools in the area are also having a ‘fuel protest’ during Book Week - for one hour nobody travels anywhere. Instead they read for the hour and fuel their minds rather than their cars.

What are other schools doing?

Fuel Your Mind

June 12, 2008

© CBCA – used by CBCA memberBook Week 2008 draws ever closer. CMIS will be interpreting the slogan ‘Fuel Your Mind’ by suggesting that we challenge students to read and respond to literature that might be unusual or a little out of their comfort zone.

The Book Week 2008 pages are still a work in progress, but we have made a start on the lists for Older Readers and the Eve Pownall Award for Information Books.
