Book Fair 25th - 28th August
We’re excited to welcome everyone to our upcoming Book Fair, starting on Monday, 25th August.
We have been unable to host a book fair for two years due to lack of space - so we are super excited to be able to bring this back to Matangi School this year.
Book Fair open hours:
Monday to Thursday 8am - 9am
Monday to Wednesday 2:50pm - 3:20pm
WHAT IS A BOOK FAIR?
A Scholastic Book Fair is a pop-up bookshop organised by Scholastic, a global children’s publishing company, held in schools to encourage a love of reading among children by giving them access to a wide range of affordable books - from picture books to chapter books, graphic novels, nonfiction, and popular series.
How it works:
-
Books and educational items are set up on display in Kōwhai Hub - the classroom next to the pump track.
-
Students will visit the Book Fair with their teacher and fill out a “Favourite Books” form to help guide their choices. This gives parents insight into what caught their child’s interest.
- Parents and carers are invited to browse the Book Fair with their child. Purchases can be made during regular Book Fair open hours, or at our special community events
- Snug as a Bug in a Rug, Monday 6 - 7pm
- Grandparents & Special Persons Day, Wednesday 9am -11am
-
A portion of the sales goes back to the school either as credit for free books or as fundraising money towards buying new books for the library.
