Halfmen of O/ International Literacy Day



This term I have been reading "The Halfmen of O" to the children in Room 7. As one of my ALL TIME favourite fantasy books for children I tend to read it to my class every 2-3 years. each class I have read it to has enjoyed the crispness and clarity of Maurice Gee's storytelling.

I am also excited to see online that there is FINALLY some movement towards the novel being developed as a feature film. As a 3D feature (which could emphasise the 'unsighted/sighted', 'yellow smoke/shy' contrast) I think would be really quite fantastic.

I plan to spend International Literacy Day reading just a few more pages to the class....
