It was busy week last week with National Simultaneous Storytime taking place. This year's book is Luna Roo the Kangaroo Baller, which is an inspiring underdog tale of courage, perseverance and determination. Classes read aloud the story and then completed activities. 

National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) is held annually by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA). Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops and many other places around the country. Now in its 26th successful year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy, using an Australian children's book that explores age-appropriate themes, and addresses key learning areas of the National Curriculum for Foundation to Year 6.

Luna Roo is also one of the books the Foundations, Years 1 and 2 are reading as part of the Premiers’ Reading Challenge.  Throughout the term, the students read 30 books from the official booklist.  Here are some more -

HAPPY READING!!
