Yesterday, Wednesday, 24th May the Holy Trinity Community gathered in the hall and participated in the 2023 National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS).

This year the NSS was held at the Sydney Zoo. The author, Rebecca Young welcomed us all and then read aloud her book ‘The Speedy Sloth”. There was then a drawing session with the illustrator Heath McKenzie.

We finished up our NSS with some fabulous Sloth Races, watched a short Sloth information clip by David Attenborough and concluded with a viewing of a livestreamed Sloth Nursey in South America.

Thank you to all those who brought in a Sloth for the display, they looked great and made us all smile. Lots of kids also brought in cute toy animals to hold during the event.

This year there were 2,300,347 registered participants, from over 59,088 locations. 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. Please click on this link Book Creator Resource to connect to a fabulous resource that has a wide range fun activities related to ‘The Speedy Sloth’.

Happy Days,
