Practically Primary

Frane Lessac is an Australian illustrator that works alongside with her own husband Mark Greenwood. Frane illustrates historical books based on Australian characters and fun adventures around the world.

Born in New Jersey Frane moved to Australia, and aren’t we glad she did, because she is stopping here in the PAC appearing on Wednesday, 29^th of May 2013! Sadly it is only for Years three through to six, so some students are going to miss out.

From looking at one of Frane’s books I would have to say the illustrations are unique and one of a kind. You’ll never see anything else like it. The stories match the illustrations and Frane even researches about what she has to draw! I guess that’s what makes her pictures AMAZING! Hopefully she leaves a signed picture!

Don’t miss it! Wednesday 29^th May.

You can find out more, check out her books and illustrations on the Frane Lessac website.

Once again Lilydale will be participating in the National Simultaneous Storytime on the 22 May 2013. Information can be found at http://www.alia.org.au/nss/. Find out here about Lilydale’s participation, this year’s chosen story, the author and his other works. The PP team will make regular updates through the comments so keep coming back and read the latest updates.

Looking nervous

You do not want to miss the 10th of April 2013.  This event is one that will hardly ever come around.  The one and only Mr Brown is getting his hair shaved off! You can help by donating money, the goal is $500 not anything under or he won’t shave his hair!

Donations of beanies and gold coin donations are definitely accepted, because there is some frosty weather heading our way, and with Mr Browns head being shaved off it will be an EXTREMELY chilly season for him.  Make sure to look out around the school for him!

Watch how the event unfolded.
