Year 5 Myths and Legends: Writing Day

Following on from the success of our 'Alien Writing Day' Year 5 decided to introduce their 'Myths and Legends' topic with a similar day.






On Wednesday 15th June the children arrived in school to find the outdoor classroom set up to depict a scene from Camelot! There was a sword in a stone with a scroll explaining the magic held within. Although many children attempted to pull the sword . . .









. . . The scroll explained that only the worthy, who would use the sword for good rather than their own benefit, would in fact be able to pull it from the stone.



Some were successful . . .












This role play led to the children planning a legend of their own within which they created a hero/heroine, a setting and numerous magical powers!
