Hey everyone!
This term we had to do yet again another novel study!
This time I was recommended the book 'Goodnight Mister Tom' Written by Michelle Magorian.
I found the book to be very eye opening, emotional, and filled with amazingly described setting and character descriptions.
This book is set during WW2 in and near London, and tells the story of William Beech; a 9 year old boy evacuated from his home with his mentally ill mother to a small town called Little Weirwood.
William was a very deprived child but soon flourished under the care of his new guardian Mister Tom Oakley.
I strongly invite you to come and make friends with William, experience the fun and hardships he faces during that time in his life.
It will be well worth it!
Moving on to the activities I had to do in connection with this book; everything is presented on this google slide.
Please take a look and if you want recommend it to your teacher! (It is a fun creative way to learn!)
Sorry for the long post!😞
Here's a cat saying cheese!
You have created a very authoritative review of the book Goodnight Mister Tom. I will take up your recommendation and read the book. Although London is now well and truly rebuilt after the ravages of World War II it is still easy to find traces of the effects of this conflict around the city. I am most impressed that you have immersed yourself in this book and thought about the themes it encompassees.
ReplyDeleteAll that fades into relative obscurity when one is confronted by a cat saying cheese. So on the subject of cats: When I was in France I came across a moggy and started having a chat only to realise it could not understand English.
I look forward to your next blog post.
