National Simultaneous Storytime 2018
It was great that so many SOTA students (and other family members) and staff took part in National Simultaneous Storytime on Wednesday 23 May. We were part of the 1,062,230 people all over Australia reading the same book at the same time. NSS2018's book was Hickory Dickory Dash written by Tony Wilson and illustrated by Laura Wood.
As well as listening to the story students participated in a variety of activities about the story. The activities were also sent to the teachers to use in classes.
NSS Competition
Students have until 15 June to take part in the competition. They can:
- Design a mouse house on paper or create one from rubbish of other things you can find
- Write another verse for the Hickory Dickory Dock rhyme.
Entries need to be sent to library@openaccess.edu.au
