Redlands House and Transition Gold
National Simultaneous Storytime
On Wednesday, the Redlands House Seniors and Transition Gold class participated in the National Simultaneous Storytime. National Simultaneous Storytime is held annually by the Australian Library and Information Association. Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, preschools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops and many other places around the country. Now in its 21st successful year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading.
The book chosen this year was “Give Me Some Space!” by Philip Bunting and was even more exciting than usual because the book was read online from space by Dr Shannon Walker, an astronaut at the International Space Station. The children loved listening to the story and were fascinated when the astronaut stopped holding the book and it floated in the air.
