On Thursday, 26^th May at 11.40am the Holy Trinity Community gathered in the hall and participated in the 2022 National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS). We were a day late, but we had a fabulous time.

NSS for 2022 was held at the National Library. The author, Josh Pyke welcomed us all and then read aloud his book ‘Family Tree”. This was followed by an interview with the illustrator Ronojoy Ghosh and we finally finished up with a singing session with Josh Pyke. The singing session was a huge hit and we all sung along.

Thank you to all those who remembered their stuffed toys – the children loved having something to hold while being involved in the NSS.

This year there were 2,186,347registered participants, from over 59,038locations. Every year the event numbers increase by 1000’s.

At the conclusion of the event classes went back to their rooms and completed a range of activities based on the book. Big fun.

Happy Days.
