CBCA Sun Project Shadow Judging
A group of 9 students from Year 4 have been meeting for the last few months to assist the Children’s Book Council of Australia with their Shadow Judging project. There were 270 groups of children across Australia judging the different categories in the Book of the Year Awards. The students at St Monica’s looked at the shortlisted books in the “Early Childhood” category and submitted their vote on which book they thought should be the winner. They also needed to create a response to the books in the category.
The students were invited to the CBCA ACT branch announcement of the Book of the Year event at the National Library. The students watched the announcement of the winners of the Book of the Year and the Shadow Judges choice. They then had the chance to share their responses to the books and the responses of other schools here in the ACT.

Here are their Creative Responses
Author VisitsAura Parker will be visiting tomorrow and working with K - Year 3. Book Cow has copies of her books and you can order them online. The books will be signed by Aura Parker and delivered to the school. Students make special connections with books when they meet the author and purchasing the book is a great way to celebrate and remember the connection.
