Australiana at Rainbow State School
Little Bush Maid Kiara, Blake the Swagman, Man from Snowy River Darcy and Seb as a very clever Stormboy by Colin Theile
2016 is the 70th Anniversary of the Book of the Year Awards. The theme for book week this year was Australia – Story Country. To celebrate book week, we held a scholastic Book Fair in the library and dress up day.
What a fantastic theme – there are so many talented Australian authors who have given us such wonderful characters and stories unique to our country and culture.
We saw Nutsy and Blinky Bill, Bad Guy 1 and 2, a swagman, goanna, Jeannie Baker’s Mirror (Mr Mileson), 52-Storey Treehouse characters, a green sheep and a white sheep, galah, koala, Ned Kelly; even the ocean – well done Daisy!
Playgroup members created masterpieces as well as koalas, a cowboy and a witch!
