Farmhouse joins nationwide storytime

THE Farmhouse participated in National Simultaneous Storytime with Nature Kinder teacher, Bronwyn Sly, reading The Truck Cat, written by Deborah Frenkel and illustrated by Danny Snell. “We sat outside in the sunshine and all the children gathered around under the trees to enjoy story time,” said Kim Stoney, founder and director of The Farmhouse. “It was a beautiful day together as a community. "Everyone had truck-loads of fun." National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) is held annually by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA). Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops and many other places around the country with the vent falling on Wednesday May 21 this year. Now in its 25th successful year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy, using an Australian children's book that explores age-appropriate themes, and addresses key learning areas of the national curriculum for foundation to year six.
