As a part of this week’s Sharing Time we have looked at the books our parents and grandparents enjoyed reading when they were children. We had lots of very well loved books brought in and it was really interesting to hear what people liked about their books. We had a variety of books – from fiction to non fiction, novels, folk tales and stories from overseas, written in different languages. Hearing about these stories gave us a greater understanding of our families histories and where they grew up. We also found that we loved reading some of these stories even now – like The Secret Seven, The Magic Faraway Tree, Blinky Bill, Dr Seuss books. We loved hearing about the different stories – it was a great sharing topic! Beth even recorded her conversation with her Dad as an interview – we’ve included her notes in our photos.

Here’s photos with our books.
