Book Week - Across the Story Bridge August 21st - 27th 2010
Zart Education is celebrating Book Week again this year and the theme, Across the Story Bridge, focuses on the importance of bridges in bringing people and things together. It raises our awareness of how reading a book is like crossing a bridge into the mind of another person i.e. the author. The team at Zart Education has created a fun, fresh and innovative workshop programme that will support Art teachers, classroom teachers and librarians in fostering the love of Australian Literature in our students. In addition we will release a publication, Across the Story Bridge, to celebrate Book Week this year. Available to purchase through Zart Art.
The Centipede Challenge
In light of one of the short listed books for 2010, Schumann the Shoeman, a number of schools were involved in our Centipede Challenge. Click here to see what they came up with!
