About 700 of the school's pupils took part in the annual event, which saw about 300 parents, family friends and community members came to the school to read to the children.
Riverside Primary School's resource team member Miranda Walker said the children were all so excited about Book Week.
"The theme this year is 'reading is my secret power'. So the children have been thinking about reading, what they love about it, and where it makes them go in their mind and all the amazing things it makes them do," she said.
