Ali's work and her reaction

This year, the book got off to a good start with many people interested in helping complete the book. We were delegated into different groups and got to work.
My group had to come up with different people to write to and to e-mail. The list of names which we came up with were given out to people to get contact details, and we all brought them in at the next meeting.
We were also given the task of interviewing our grandparents about their primary school experiences.
At the moment we are all contacting different people with a personal, hand-written letter. Myself and Hannah are also being put in touch with a school in London, to receive their input for the book.

Hearing my Granny talk about her primary school experiences was really nice. It was great to hear about the things they did at school, and how different it is to what my primary school was like. As I was talking to her about it, she was remembering different details which was nice to see as well.
