Publisher's Synopsis
Suitable for children in Year 1 (age 5), Going to School is from the Cambridge Reading genre strand Narrative Recounts - a strand which motivates children to explore their personal responses and make links to their own experiences. Each story marks a significant event from someone's childhood. While some of the stories are set in modern Britain, others take place in the 1930s or 1940s in locations as diverse as Hong Kong and Trinidad. This story by Grace Hallworth is about her childhood in Trinidad in the 1930s. For part of the time Grace lived with her aunt, away from her siblings, where she sometimes felt lonely. Grace's aunt was a teacher and went to school on a tram everyday. Grace's aunt said she was too young to start school, but Grace couldn't wait . . . This pack of 6 is for guided group reading.
