Leap into learning this August with Cassy Polimeni

Children’s author, Cassy Polimeni, is bringing themes of conservation and species survival into primary classrooms this August.

Ella and the Amazing Frog Orchestra is the first instalment in a new 4-book junior fiction series from the University of Western Australia Publishing.

Young learners will have the chance to meet Cassy, a CBCA Notable Author, during a virtual excursion organised by Virtual Excursions Australia and DART Learning. While aimed at schools, libraries and home schools, anyone interested is encouraged to register for this free event.

“This is a new series for newly independent readers that not only has characters that they will resonate with – so many will recognise the anxiety and other emotions that come with moving house and starting a new school – but which also has an original storyline that offers new insight into a common curriculum focus.”
Barbara Braxton Teacher-Librarian

Held during Children’s Book Week on August 22nd at 10am (AEST), this timely event follows National Science Week (10-18 August) and will help young readers build awareness of the importance of frogs through an engaging story, including instructions for building their own frog pond in their backyard. There will be a chance to ask Cassy questions about writing, learn more about the series, and be introduced to a real live frog!
