This morning I was invited by Lindfield Learning Village to be a ‘Living Library’ and share with ~80 primary kids about Lindfield and Chatswood … the past, the present, and the future.
The kids were fascinated with facts and questions such as:
– How to use a rotary dial phone
– Target being located at Wallaceway
– Supermarkets not being open on Sundays or most weeknights
– Birthday parties at MacDonalds Chatswood (Archer Street)
– Whether the milkman delivered milk that came from a cow
– Whether anyone fell out of the red rattler manual doors
– When did they open Roseville Public School
– Whether an artist had painted the picture of Lindfield’s future (alternate TOD scenario)
I also had the chance to chat to teachers about the experience at LLV and their self directed learning model.
