CHUM Creek students had the chance to unwind with a story on Wednesday, 25 May, when McKenzie’s Tourist Services’ Kevin Brickley read to them as part of the National Simultaneous Storytime.
The simultaneous storytime involves schools, playgroups and pre-schools across the country stopping to read the same story at the same time.
This year’s book was ‘I Got This Hat!’ by Jol and Kate Temple, and Mr Brickley read the book to Chum Creek Primary School’s students at 11.45am on the Wednesday.
The students at the school read the picture book along with Mr Brickley, wearing their own crazy hats to go along with the story.
Principal Michael Corr said it was the sixth year that the school had taken part in the storytime, and at each year a member of the community is invited to read.
