Book week - literature popular in 1914

Dear parents and caregivers

Room 1 has been looking at popular literature (stories) around the beginning of WW1 in order to find characters suitable for a book week parade next week.  These are the books we have talked about today:

Pollyanna  Eleanor H. Porter
The Secret Garden  Frances Hodgson Burnett
The Wind in the Willows
  
Kenneth Grahame

If you have any of these books (or DVDs) at home or abridged versions I could read to or share with the students, please bring these in for us.  Have a think about characters and what you might be able to rustle up at home - a dress up parade is so much fun!

Thanks, Ms Werder and Room 1.
