The Presentation from Dr Cameron Stelzer
The presentation from Dr Cameron really ignited a spark in the students at Cromer. We enjoyed learning about what inspired him to write his books, how a book is produced and drawing techniques that he uses. The pictures of the Dr Cameron book stands below show how popular the books are. This is what we love to see, empty shelves because books are so popular.
The Stands Before Dr Cameron's Visit
Book Week
Every year schools and public libraries across Australia celebrate
Book Week. At this time, we celebrate
Australian books and their authors and illustrators. In our library we
participate in activities relating to the theme to highlight the importance of
reading. The theme this year is Read, Grow, Inspire. In our library in Term 3
we will grow and be inspired as we study the books that have been placed on the
Children’s Book Council of Australia Notable List and Shortlist.
The CBCA Awards were first established in 1946 and they are
the longest running book awards in Australia. The books on the Notable list
this year showcase the huge talent of our authors and illustrators and contain
a wide range of themes, characters and stories. It is stated on the CBCA
website that the awards aim to:
- Promote quality literature for young Australians;
- Support and encourage a wide range of Australian writers and illustrators of children’s books and;
- Celebrate contributions to Australian children’s literature.
We have a large collection from this year’s notable list in
our library and term three will see all of the students at Cromer embarking on
some exciting reading adventures.
