Don't forget to enter the One World, Many Stories School Sculpture competition! Open to all primary school children within Mitchell Shire, it is free to enter and there are prizes at each branch for the Best, Most unusual and Encouragement categories. Themed sculptures can be delivered to libraries from Monday 1 August up until closing time on Friday 12 August. We think the theme relates to the way a book can show you what things are like for people in a different country, a different world or just a different situation to our own. So you could make a sculpture relating to another world or culture or maybe about a story that is special to you.
Some ideas could be…
a double-sided sculpture to compare one country to another, side by side, sort of like the book, Mirror by Jeannie Baker
a sculpture of a character from a book depicting another world, like the dragon in Eragon a double-sided sculpture to compare one country to another, side by side, sort of like the book, Mirror by Jeannie Baker
a sculpture relating to a book that is special to you
TO ENTER:
1. Create your themed sculpture (out of paper mache, clay, playdough, icypole sticks, etc
2. Deliver your creation to the correct library for your school
3. Complete an entry form
See below for an entry form you can print off or grab one from the library. For more information, drop into your local library or call 5782 1322.
Song of the week...
Jack in the box

Until somebody opens the lid... (say this slowly too)
Boo! (burst upwards and shout "BOO!")
