National Simultaneous Storytime

The Prep students participated in the National Simultaneous Storytime on the 22nd of May. The book this year was Bowerbird Blues written by Aura Parker. In the lead-up to the day, students made a collage and were encouraged to wear a touch of blue.

The Prep students gathered in the school hall with the Year 1-3 students to listen to the story together.

Students went into a lucky draw to get their copy of the book. Congratulations to the following Prep students:

• Mateo Biscocho
• Aiden Galkandage
• Rufina Buenviaje
