This term we are reading Nadia Wheatley’s marvellous book My Place. This book chronicles the lives of children living on the same patch of land in New South Wales and records how the children and the land change as each decade passes. It is a great resource for learning about Australian history as the book takes us on a journey from before the arrival of Europeans right up until recent times.
This book has also been made into a children’s television series by the ABC and after we have read different decades of the book, we will also view the episodes and compare how the book and series differ.
The ABC has a great website which provides lots of information about the book, the series and the eras of history it covers which the students will enjoy exploring as well.
This particular book has amazed me from front to back it is interesting to hear about the changes between Burangaroo and jen so far. from Michael M10
Hi Michael
I am glad you are enjoying this book, I really enjoy reading it to you all. It looks like a simple picture book, but it is certainly jam-packed with lots of learning about Australian History, as well as being a very interesting story!
