Bookweek Bookfeast

MRS HELEN GARDENER

Each year since 1945, the Children’s Book Council of Australia has brought children and books together across Australia. Authors, Illustrators, books and children are celebrated over one glorious week of imagination, participation and fun. This year, to create further involvement in the festivities of Book Week, the Junior School Library held a “BookFeast” competition. Students were asked to choose a book and represent that book using edible art. Cakes, cookies, fruit, vegetables and lollies were all used and the results were amazing. 37 students entered the competition. Students created their masterpieces, took a photo and uploaded it to Aidan’s Central. Entries were collated and the Junior School teachers then voted on each entry with a winner from each year level awarded a prize.

During Book Week, students were given the opportunity to see all the BookFeast entries, with many more students wishing they had entered.
