From Wendy Orr:
Nim’s Island showing on the Sunshine Coast on the school holidays. Always nice to see it still bringing fun for kids. I wonder if they know it’s an Australian book and was filmed not far from them? [Hinchinbrook!]
Thrilling activity guide for the holidays on the Sunshine Coast

Maybe it’s time to revisit Nim’s Island with your kiddos? It’s a novel that never gets tired and it’s Australian, with lots of great themes and layers to explore. Why let the US have all the fun of using this book in many states and schools? I put together a few free resources you could use or from which to take inspiration!

Wendy shared this not long ago from one of the American schools who had been studying the book. I remarked that I have made these and variations often in my libraries. You can also buy kits in Officeworks now. Why not try some out?
