Welcome to 2012 in Room 19

Today we shared the picture book; 'Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge' by Julie Vivas. Wilfrid befriends Nancy who lives in the old people's home next door to his house. Nancy has lost her memory. After finding out what a memory is Wilfrid gathers objects about his memories to share with Nancy, which in turn sparks memories for Nancy.

Room 19ers have been asked to bring a couple of memory objects of their own to share with the class. This is just one of the ways we are getting to know each other this week. Select from the following 'memory categories':
  • Something warm
  • Something to make you cry
  • Something to make you laugh
  • Something precious as gold
Your objects will be kept safely in our 'Memories Box' at school for the day, then you can take them home. We look forward to finding out more about you (your child) through your memories.
