Year 5 - Kensuke's Kingdom

Date: 19th Dec 2024 @ 8:23am

During the first part of this term, Year 5 read Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo. We really enjoyed learning about the characters, their emotions and what it takes to write a book that we were all so engaged with - it rapidly became a year group favourite; so much so that in the final part of Autumn 2 we watched the film! We then spent some time analysing the film versus the book, discussing how much had been left out (due to time) and hwo much more vivid the details were when we didn't rely on our imagination but were instead presented with a fully animated, living, breathing world right on the screen!
