What an incredible experience today as our Prep to Year 6 learners joined 2,204,658 participants across Australia to read The Truck Cat for this year’s National Simultaneous Storytime.

It was wonderful to see the excitement across all year levels, and the way our students engaged with the story was truly inspiring. A special shout-out to our Prep learners, who kicked off the session by making predictions about the book, beautifully tying in with our current Inquiry unit.

Myra- "I can't believe the cat belonged to the truck driver, I predicted he would find it."

Sohum- "I liked the Truck Cat book, I got to see the author, the person who wrote it and the person who drew the pictured."

It was great to see how each year level took part with thoughtful, creative learning tasks. The enthusiasm for reading was contagious, and the rich discussions that followed show just how powerful shared reading experiences can be.
