The children in Year 5 were very pleased to have Chris Connaughton visit for a morning of storytelling and writing challenges. Chris shared a selection of short stories based on a maritime theme, linking to our recent maritime history project. The children heard versions of The Odyssey, Robinson Crusoe and Long John Silver. We also had some of the children's parents and carers join us, and we hope that the children will be inspired to follow up their morning session with some reading at home. We will be doing some more reading and writing based on the stories in school.
