Sometimes you just have to laugh!

Our girl is living her best Silky life with her coworkers and ALL her men! Lol

Is it Jos? Is it Jake? Is it Luke by the Lukey store? Where in the world is Eamon Ferran? (that just sounds good).

The Magic Far Away Tree book series by Enid Blyton was the first time I ever enjoyed reading/listening to a novel. The final 10 minutes of class each day my Year 2 teacher would allow us to find somewhere comfortable in the room to relax and listen to the adventures read by our teacher. Reading time was a reward for working cooperatively and productively throughout the day. The stories were mystical and exciting with likeable characters exploring different lands above the treetop of the magic faraway tree.

Prompt 1 - Memories of being read to 

My most prevalent memory of being read to in the classroom was in grade three, when my teacher read her favourite childhood book which was ‘The Magic Faraway Tree’ by Enid Blyton. I idolised my teacher, so it was fascinating to me that she would share something so personal to the class. From this captivating, imaginative and exciting reading every day or two, it made me look forward to story time which was always read with such expression and dramatic tones. I was almost busting with excitement when I saw my teacher pick up the book from our classroom book shelf. I became so intrigued with the story that it allowed me to escape to my own magical word each time she would read the text out loud it felt like I was somewhere else. 

Due to the nature of the book and it’s creative, imaginative descriptions I was captivated by each and every word and the different lands that were up this tree - the land of toys, spells, goodies... I felt as though I was on a journey with the Moonface, Silky and Saucepan Man. From this reading, it lead me to independently reading the other books in this series such as ‘The Enchanted Wood’, ‘The Folk of the Faraway Tree’ and ‘Up the Far Away Tree’. Often I preferred to be read to by my parents before bed, so I could concentrate on taking myself to that great imaginative mysterious world far far away... 

*Above is some photos which triggered my memory from this experience.
