This year’s literacy activities include A Poem in Your Pocket and Read for Australia. The numeracy activity is called Reach for the Stars.
Read for Australia will provide all schools with the chance to participate in a simultaneous reading of the book Sunday Chutney by Aaron Blabey at 2 pm Friday 29 August.
The numeracy activity Reach for the Stars has the theme drinking water. Students will identify, count and measure the sources of water in their community.

And, although they have nothing to do with reading - at first glance anyway - two other days that are coming up soon are National Chocolate Day on the 4th September and International Coffee Day on the 29th September. A nice hot chocolate or cup of coffee with a good book, really, who can ask for more? Maybe we need some ideas for promoting the Library while celebrating these special days? Can't be too hard, can it?
