On Wednesday, we participated in the National Simultaneous Storybook reading. Most schools across Australia took part in it too. Students from Prep to Year 6 enjoyed reading the same book – ‘Hickory, Dickory, Dash’ by Tony Wilson.

On Thursday, Years 1 and 2 video conferenced an extremely well-known Australian author, Katrina Germein, using Skype.

She has written books such as, ‘Thunderstorm Dancing’, ‘My Dad Thinks He’s Funny’, ‘Big Rain Coming’ and ‘My Mum Says the Strangest Things’.
It was certainly very exciting to talk to a real-life author who has written books which the children have enjoyed reading in class.
