Year 5 has successfully completed a comprehensive unit on The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe this term. Our focus was on narrative innovation, where students wrote independent stories that mirrored the structure of Lucy's first journey into Narnia. They significantly adapted the setting by replacing the lamppost with highly original objects (such as the Statue of Liberty or a Lamborghini). We innovated the character of Mr Tumnus by replacing him with a different mythical creature of our choice.  This creative writing followed earlier work where children researched and wrote non-chronological reports on their own selected mythical creatures, including the Naga, Zenko, and Panotti, before placing them into their narratives.
