NATIONAL SIMULTANEOUS STORYTIME – 22 May 2024

Last Wednesday, Holy Cross participated in National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS). Every year a picture book, written and illustrated 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. See photos on our school's facebook page.

Bowerbird Blues by Aura Parker was chosen as this year’s text. Our students were read the text and immersed themselves in bowerbird-related activities. This book was enjoyed so much, we now have a lengthy reservation list to borrow it out!

An Interview With…Zoe (Year 4)

 Note from Mrs Murray: Zoe has been a Library Warrior since it started in 2022 and has never missed a Friday. She collects books in the morning before school and even though she has choir commitments at Lunch 2, Zoe always makes sure her section is done before going to choir. Zoe takes her role very seriously, which makes her an invaluable member of our team.

 What section are you responsible for?

Junior Fiction and anyone who needs help in their sections.

 What is your favourite book?

 The Puppy Place series and Puppy series by Holly Webb

 What do you love about being a Library Warrior?

That I can help put other and any books away but most importantly I can hang out with Mrs Murray and the other Library Warriors at lunchtime.

 What is your favourite Library task?

Putting away books.

Happy reading everyone!

Sue Murray
