I wanted to write about the journals that Daisy and Bobby have been completing for the last couple of years. I started them as a bit of a diary for both them and I to remember what we got up to over the summer. I bought them a notebook each and thought we would complete them as regularly as possible.
It was clear early on that they needed guidance with what to include within their entries, so I wrote a list of questions at the back of each one.
Things to collect
Entrance tickets
Postcards
Stamps
Mementos
Feathers, flowers, and more…
Questions to consider
The date today
People I was with today
Friends I made today
The location of today
Where did we stay today
What was the weather like today
How did I feel today
What was the best and worst bit of today
What did I eat today
Architecture I saw today
Something I learnt today
A book I’m reading, music I listened to or a film I’ve watched
Bobby had just started to read and write, so I thought he could develop this and use drawing to express himself. His are a lot less detailed than Daisy’s but this years entries are getting much better.
This notebook Roger la Borde Elegant Owls Lined A4 Notebook
is fabulous as a journal and there are lots of different designs.
