Please ensure your child brings their library bag and returns ALL borrowed books at their weekly session. The class borrowing days are:  

National Simultaneous Storytime 

On Wednesday 21st May at 12 noon, our school will take part in the National Simultaneous Storytime. This event is held annually by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA). 

Every year a picture book, written by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops and many other places around the country.

The book for 2025 is ‘Truck Cat’ written by Deborah Frenkel and illustrated by multi-award-winning artist Danny Snell.  The Truck Cat is the perfect book to inspire kindness and compassion in young children everywhere. A heartwarming tale of immigration, identity and finding home. 

Some cats are house cats. Some are apartment cats. But Tinka is a truck cat. Tinka lives everywhere.  Along with his human, Yacoub, Tinka travels roads wide and narrow, near and distant. But no matter how much they travel, home feels very far away – for both of them. Yacoub drives his truck to make a living, learning the landscape of a new country along the way, and longing for connection. When Tinka and Yacoub are unexpectedly separated, they are determined to find their way back to each other – and, in doing so, might find more than they expected… 

A link of the book recording will be uploaded to our Facebook page for anyone who wishes to watch. There will be more information closer to the date so keep an eye out for the details.
