Maria Wood has been a long time supporter of ALIA's National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS). Maria is about to retire and wanted to go out with a BANG with this years' NSS !
All classes joined together in their school hall which where she created a dark space for the children to enter into. They then projected a series of star constellations and galaxies onto the ceiling while ambient space music played in the background.
Then they used a rocket timer to excitedly count down to the 'blast off' reading by astronaut Dr Shannon Walker.
Thank you Maria for creating such a special NSS experience for your students to enjoy this years NSS book "Give me some space!" by Philip Bunting and best wishes for your retirement!
