The kids were excited as we connected – they’re in Mr Gambia and I’m thousands of kilometres away in Sydney.
Hello to Robert who has a hair cut like my JACK in ‘I Am Jack’.
Hello to Faith who knew all about beaches.
Hello to Brodie who loved talking about everything.
Hello to all the fantastic kids of the special class for kids with intellectual impairments at Mt Gambia North Primary School in South Australia.
We had a great time today as I shared ‘I Am Jack’ with the kids.
They LOVED Floppy the dog and Nanna’s teeth from my books – ‘I Am Jack’, ‘Super Jack’ and ‘Always Jack’.
We talked about telling their Mum or Dad if someone calls them a name that hurts, like what happened to my Jack.
They promised to tell their parents if they were sad and in trouble!
Thankyou to Polycom for hosting the teleconferencing with the kids of Mt Gambia North.
