With Malta's school children well into their second week away from school, many parents are struggling to keep their children entertained in a healthy manner. Fear not, we may have just found the perfect solution for you!

Local actor Thomas Camilleri is joining forces with My Storytime to offer a virtual reading session. This was announced earlier today on Facebook: "Anyone with kids aged 6+ out there? I'll be reading the wonderful Roald Dahl's Matilda in instalments starting at 5.30pm today," Thomas wrote. The choice of literature is symbolic: Thomas was part of the Matilda musical cast set to take the stage this April but the show, along with all other productions, have been put on hold.

Thomas also makes mention of other similar events: "There are also other readings today for all ages so just check the schedule for more information," he wrote. The readings, listed below, will be streamed live on the My Storytime Facebook page.
