National Simultaneous Storytime
On Wednesday 29th May, most of our classes participated in National Simultaneous Storytime. This is an annual event where children across the globe read the same story at the same time. This year’s book was Bowerbird Blues by Aura Parker and it was read by over 2 million kids around the world.
Classes enjoyed the story and followed up with a variety of art activities.
Some classes listened to Aura read it live from the Sydney Zoo and followed an art activity, while others watched a recording of the staff at Singapore Zoo read it to their resident sloths Indigo and Bubba. After reading the story, classes participated in a number of activities.
Collage Competition
We ran a school-wide competition with students creating their own Bowerbird nests! There were so many great entries and it was really tricky to choose a winner. The lucky students were Milla from N3 and Lucy from T7. Thank you to all the students who participated!
Yours in reading,
