During Library lessons this week, students participated in National Simultaneous Storytime. NSSS is an annual event where a picture book written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, bookshops and many places around the country. 

 

This year's book Give Me Some Space by Phillip Bunting was read by astronaut Dr Shannon Walker from the International Space Station. Here is the link if you would like to share the story with your family.

Stage 3 Excursion to Parliament House

Stage 3 went on an excursion to Parliament House on Monday 17th May.  Our local Member of Parliament for the Bean electorate, Mr David Smith, met with the students and answered questions about his role and the government. The students then spent time at the Parliament Education Office and participated in a role play learning about the various roles in the different chambers of Parliament House. The students finished with a guided tour and learnt lots of interesting information about the House of Representatives and the Senate as well as the architecture of Parliament House. After lunch in the Senate Gardens the students visited Magna Carta Place before returning to school.
