Goal Update

This term in my class our theme is 'Other Worlds' and because of this the children’s tables have all been named with different fantasy lands. We have Hogwarts, Narnia, The Land of Oz, Neverland and Alice’s Wonderland. Explaining to the children that these worlds didn't just pop up in Disney films, but actually originated in books has really got me thinking. 

In light of this I would like to add a new goal to my list this year and that is to read at least one book in which these worlds exist.  What this basically means is that this year I want to read the following books:

-          Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone

-          The Magician’s Nephew

-          The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

-          Peter Pan

-          Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Having started working in a Primary School in September, I have realised that there are so many great children’s books that I just didn’t read. Even books by my favourite childhood author Enid Blyton. I’m glad that it isn’t now too late to catch up on all of those fabulous stories and over the next few years I hope to make my way through the best of children’s literature. That’s really the only problem with books though isn’t it? There are always so many more to read!
