National Simultaneous Storytime is an
important annual campaign that aims to encourage more young Australians to read
and enjoy books. Now in its 14th 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 Grades F to 6 and the pre-school Early
Learning Years Framework.
This
year it takes place on Wednesday 21st May at 11am. Kindergarten classes Koalas
and Bilbies will be attending the Cessnock City Library to listen to this years
story “Too Many Elephants In This
House.” All other classes in the school
will be encouraged to have a reading session at this time too.
