National+Literacy+and+Numeracy+Week

Thanks to Stephen for the following: August is the month for 'National Literacy and Numeracy Week'. We are registered in the 'Read For Australia', 'Digital Stories' and the 'Reach for The Stars' competitions. There are some great prizes on offer and we can enter in any or all activities. The following links have a multitude of ideas and classroom resources. The 'Digital Stories' was a lot of fun in 2010 and relates to the CBCA shortlisted texts. We also entered the 'Reach For The Stars' (shuttle run activity in 2010). This year, the 'Reach For The Stars' theme is //** Your Classroom **// -a booklet of resources will be given out to assist with ideas. We have until early September to enter our data (year 6 students are happy to help out with the uploading).
