Storytelling and books – thank you Richard O’Neill

This week Year 5 have begun to learn about their new topic, the Early Islamic Civilisation. They have created timelines showing key events in history and looked at maps to show the location of the spread of early Islam. Pupils are excited to learn more about Baghdad and the House of Wisdom. Year 5 have also been visited by a fabulous author and storyteller, Richard O’Neill, who talked to pupils about a love of reading, writing and about self-belief. We can’t wait to continue our work with Richard to publish our own book. Pupils are looking forward to creating their vision boards next week during aspiration week.
