On Friday afternoon, the children in Class 4 were thrilled to welcome author Adam Bushnell into class for a creative storytelling workshop. Building on their work on The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the pupils planned their own tales about stepping through a magical portal into another world. In their imagined lands, they discovered mysterious castles and encountered powerful wizards and witches, letting their imaginations run wild.
A highlight of the session was a visit from Jet the tortoise, who happily wandered around the classroom and inspired the children to use rich adjectives in their descriptions. The excitement reached new heights when pupils had the chance to gently hold Jet at the end of the workshop.
To bring their ideas to life even further, the children used AI tools to explore a 360-degree view of an imaginary landscape – complete with strawberry rain and dinosaurs roaming the mountains. It was a wonderfully inspiring afternoon that sparked creativity, curiosity, and lots of enthusiastic writing.
