Year 4 had an extremely exciting day at the Harry Potter Studios tour last Thursday!
Firstly, the children did a workshop where they learnt about how author’s creatures were brought to life for the big screen. We looked at how JK Rowling described the creatures in her books and we got to create our own mythical creatures.
We got to experience the magic of the 25th anniversary of the Philosopher’s stone while we were there. Children were immersed in the magic of the sets, costumes and props from the films, all of which will help us with our descriptive writing units. The children especially enjoyed walking down Diagon Alley, which we are writing about as part of our portal narrative in English.
Then, on Friday, the children had a visit from our very own Hedgwig. One of our parents brought in a baby barn owl to visit the children.
