National Simultaneous Storytime

The major event this term was the National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS). This was held on Wednesday 27^th May. The event, organised by Australian Library and Information Association, was open to all schools in Australia.

As many classes had swimming lessons during the live reading, some year levels were able to listen to a simultaneous reading as a year level, while others listened in their library classes. The selected book was Luna Roo the Kangaroo Baller written by Adam Jackson and Adrian Lloyd and illustrated by Jake Minton. The book was read by Elise Kellond Knight, a former Matilda’s star.

This story of a soccer match between two teams of Australian animals, was enjoyed by everyone. It is available for families to enjoy on Youtube at https://youtu.be/sVrhbOhtTx0?si=OkbbLAq098QHq-h3

There is also a demonstration on how to draw Luna Roo herself.
