ジェームズとジャイアントピーチキャンプ

ames and the Giant Peach was one of Roald Dahl's first children's stories. Published in 1961 it follows the story of young James and his two terrible aunts. His life changes with the help of some magic beans, a peach tree and an interesting group of insects.

The course is student lead. I like to follow the interests of the student, therefore there might be some deviation from this syllabus depending on each group.
