Remarkable Reader's Reward Trip

Key Stage One's most prolific readers were rewarded on Thursday with a fantastic trip to Discover  Children's Story Centre in Stratford. Twenty nine excited children (and five even more excited adults) boarded the coach at 9am  and began their amazing adventure.

When we arrived at the centre  we explored Story World which consisted of creative play features, settings and environments that stimulated their imaginations. They visited the special Hootah Observatron, climbed a crow’s nest and went on a Story Building mission!

Through spoken language, listening, drama, storytelling and exploration of Discover’s unique environments children learnt the key elements of story craft – character, setting and plot – and helped Hootah to create a new story for Squiggly Diggly. Their story included a ninja, snakes that turned into speedboats, sharks, a jar of gold and even Donald Trump!!!

                                    

We then enjoyed a well deserved lunch and headed outside into the garden for even more fun.

Thank you so much to the staff at the centre - you were all fantastic and we will definitely be making a return visit.

The last word went to Oliver 

"It was such fun, I wanted to stay there forever!"
