National Simultaneous Storytime
National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) is an annual event, run by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA), 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.
Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, family day cares, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops and many other places around the country. This year’s book was ‘Bowerbird Blues’ written by Aura Parker.
Over the last couple of weeks our very own ’bowerbird’ has been building and decorating his bower in the library, with the help of our students, and earlier this week we were excited to see that all of his hard work had paid off with the arrival of his mate.
PPN students had a wonderful time taking part in National Simultaneous Storytime this morning, and our staff were all dressed in blue to celebrate.
