Book Week at Tyndale Christian School – Murray Bridge

Our Junior School students celebrate Book Week at Murray Bridge with the 2022 theme “Dreaming with your eyes open”.

On Friday 26 August 2022, Book Week was held at Tyndale Christian School – Murray Bridge and we were thrilled to see our Junior School students dressed up in different costumes from famous movies to well-known books.

We were pleased to see a lot of parents that were able to come along to support their kids, who dressed up in different character costumes. It was lovely to have so many parents coming along and capture memories of their children taking part in the Book Week parade.

Book Week is an important week for both teachers and librarians, as educators want to highlight the importance of reading to children at a young age. Reading books in Junior School helps many students with spelling, pronunciation and builds their vocabulary. Furthermore, teaching and encouraging students to read early on can help them read more often, as the world we live in has been predominantly dominated by technological devices such as iPads and smartphones.

At Tyndale Christian School – Salisbury East, one of our core values is ‘lifelong learning’. Our teachers encourage our students to immerse themselves in reading setting them up for success in their Senior years when they are required to interpret a variety of text types and write essays.
