Living museum

 

On Thursday afternoon, Year 5/6 created a living History museum for their parents to visit. They displayed their posters and presented the information to explain our learning from our Autumn term History unit, answering the question: Why was Baghdad a beacon of light in the Dark Ages? It was a great success and the children enjoyed sharing their work and creativity with their audience.

Today KS2 got the opportunity to hear about another author. This time Sir Lenny Henry was interviewed by fellow author Tọlá Okogwu. Lenny Henry explained why he wanted to be an author and how he came up with the ideas for his stories. He also read us a snippet of his latest two books aswell as sharing some jokes with us. The children thought he was very funny and were excited to hear sections of his two books.
