This week, the Year 5 students embarked on an exhilarating adventure as they launched their new English unit focused on writing survival narratives. The school hub was transformed into a vibrant jungle, creating an immersive environment that engaged all their senses.

As part of the launch, the children stumbled upon the campsite of a missing adventurer. This intriguing discovery sparked their imaginations and curiosity. Armed with iPads, they captured photos of the mysterious campsite and took time to write predictions about the possible stories behind the adventurer's disappearance.

This unit is inspired by "The Lost Book of Adventure," and we are eager to see how this experience will enhance their final written survival narratives. With the creativity ignited by their jungle adventure, we are confident that the students will produce some truly captivating stories.
