Best Work Assembly - 5AW

February 11, 2013
5AW have been reading 'Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp' by Philip Pullman. Set in China, this story recounts the tale of a poor tailor's son who, with the help of a magic lamp that he finds in an enchanted cave, becomes a wealthy prince. The story so far: Aladdin is trapped in a tunnel but the evil Moor promises to help him out if he hands over the magic lamp. What happens next? That is the creative writing challenge presented to Year 5.

Key Stage 2 children sat enthralled as 5AW read out their ideas in Best Work Assembly. The children should feel very proud of their excellent storytelling. You can listen to some examples below.
