21st February 2020 - in whatever location you are!
Peak School Book Day 21st Februray 2020
Wherever you are on Friday 21st February 2020 we expect the students and staff of Peak School to get dressed in their book day costumes and send us pictures or videos of you as your character.
Whilst we would all love to be together and have our annual costume parade it's not possible, so instead the library team are going to work like crazy to get a 'movie' of the costumes made by the end of the school day on Friday 21st February 2020.
It's time to start building the most bold and outrageous costumes you can think of, use the time at home well because we want to see what you can do when you don't have to travel in your costumes!!! If your family are at home too, maybe you can create whole scenes together and include everyone - even your pets! Let's get creative...
There will be folders under the library topic in your classes google classroom for you to add your pictures too. Please can you do this as early as possible (or even before ;-) ) on Book Day 21st Februray 2020.
Here's a little reminder of some of the incredible home made costumes from last year.
This video from last year helps us to know how much books mean to us at Peak School.
Book Day Readathon 2020
The good news is there is a great charity in Hong Kong called Bring Me a Book who are working hard to provide small libraries in Hong Kong communities where they are desperately needed. Maybe you've heard of them already? if not follow this link to see what they do and what they are all about. https://www.bringmeabook.org.hk/
So the Book Day reading challenge is this, we want all our students and staff to raise enough money to build or partially built one of the book case libraries in a community in Hong Kong.
We want you to get family and friends to sponsor you to read for 100 minutes in the week leading up to Book Day. So that might be 20 minutes a day for 5 days, or one epic long reading session. You decide how you are going to do it. We will collect in the money from you when Peak School re-opens - although you will need to collect it from your sponsors in advance.
Here's a link to the sponsorship form for you to print and find more information on, it will also be available in your google classrooms.

We can make a huge difference, if we do this together. Happy reading!

And finally, just for fun...
