BOOK WEEK AT RICHMOND PRIMARY SCHOOL

Next week is Book Week at Richmond Primary School. The children in the GATERS programme are involved in preparing different activities for the rest of the school.

Casper from Rm 2 has created a quiz for children to enter during the week. See if you know the answers. Casper will put the answers on the blog at the end of the week and you can see how great you were!
Casper has given all the classes the quiz to complete in their own time. Give it a go and maybe you would like to post of comment for Casper to read next week.

Book and Movie Comparisons - "The Lost Thing" by Shaun Tan

This term we are looking at books and movies. The senior children have read the story "The Lost Thing by Shaun Tan and have watched the film. This animation won an Oscar this year, beating Pixar, the producers of the Cars movies.

Having compared the book with the movie the children produced a timeline or cartoon strip of the 6-7 main events in this story.


This is a fantastic book to read with a sophisticated message that can be discussed and debated with children. The movie is available on You Tube.
