Onion Tears

Hello boys and girls and welcome to our reading groups blog.

You have just listened to the podcast on Onion Tears by Dianna Kidd. I hope you have enjoyed the story so far.

Today you are going to make some text to self connections. Look at the questions below and post a response.

Aunty is not really Nam-Huong’s aunt. Do you have any ‘aunties’ and ‘uncles’ who are not related to you by birth?


Our names have meanings attached to them and these are often the reasons for the choice of name given to us. Do you know the meaning of your name? If not, try looking it up!
