Class 3V were asked to bring their imagination with them to school this morning as we kicked off our Harry Potter theme for literacy.
On arrival at school, the children had to step through to Platform 9 3/4 for an imaginary journey on the Hogwarts Express. We watched film footage of a real-life steam train travelling through the Scottish highlands, before viewing a clip from the first Harry Potter film, in which Harry and the other first years arrive at Hogsmeade Station and travel by moonlight across the loch to Hogwarts Castle.
The children then wrote the first part of a narrative, describing their first impressions of Hogwarts, using plenty of exciting and ambitious vocabulary.
Tomorrow, we will be moving the action to the Great Hall, where the Sorting Ceremony will take place...
