Right, so what is going on then.
1) Bought a couple of new books.....
.........obviously my Peter Pan that we have to read in half term. Also got the one Tija said was really easy to understand.....sort of need easy sometimes !! The third one bought for my own reading (sad, I know) 'cause it sounded interesting, my next read once I am done with Master Pan.
On the subject of little Pete, I do know this story...........but when you read it with a different head on (imagine now Wurzel Gummage!!!) you can feel different things in the book. Has led me into lots of different places.......totally engrossed!!!!!! I do see why people might think that it is a bit of a mean story, definately NOT Disney, but I think when you understand the story you sort of forgive that. Not sure if that makes sense....it does in my head !!!!!!
Soooo need to get some academic writing done and my newspaper research.....bit off par today...........allowing people to get to me - another one of those things that needs to be put in the 'can do without' column of my time management........I am working on it!!!!
Have put a post on my moodle page about blogspot blogs.......basically the reason why I choose to use it rather than Moodle. If anyone wants to try one but not sure how to get going, drop me a comment at the end of this post or email me (address on Moodle) and I will do my best to help......give it a go, it is easier than it looks !!!!
Anybody got any more good book links??
Night :o)

hi - Jen here from year 2 (yes we do live to tell the tale!) - not sure if it'll help but when we did Peter Pan last year someone managed to get hold of the story as a talking book - now I would have shared this with you but, in a recent 'clean up my computer fest' I deleted the file...however, I suspect someone in our group will have kept it. If you are interested in getting a copy I suggest you check out Crystal Bournes blog (there's a link to her through my blog) - I am sure she'll have a copy still!
Anyway - good luck...if you need any advise on books or anything...just let me know - I'd have loved some 2nd year wisdom last year!!! JEN xx

hi, Crystal from year 2(as well)
Jen told me that you will need the CD of Peter Pan. I will love to give to you but now the question is how I am going to give it to you?
I like your blogs, it's good to start early, we are too late and lonely because not many people doing it on this course. hopefully we can use it to help each other.
