At Lollipop ELC, we celebrated #BookWeek2022 by reading books.
Friday 26 August, our little people had a parade dressed as their favourite book characters and visited the Woden experiment area and enjoyed the beautiful sun.
Children loved reading books such as Slinky Malinki, A Very Hungry Caterpillar, Bluey, We Are Going On A Bear Hunt, Room On The Broom, The Gruffalo, and many more.
What a great way to celebrate a week full of books!
