Characters come alive for Book Week

This year’s Book Week theme ‘Book an Adventure!’ came alive at primary schools around across the region over the last few weeks.

Parades, book fairs and other Book Week related events took place at all local schools.

The fun started at some schools the week before the official Book Week last week, with others deferring the fun to this week.

Students, teachers and school community members put remarkable time and effort in the events, aimed at inspiring and developing an interest in reading and writing.

Following are just some of the photos taken by our journalists or provided to the Deniliquin Pastoral Times. Unfortunately we could not use them all, so we’ve created a gallery which can be viewed at www.denipt.com.au.
