Magic was certainly in the air this morning during our writing class! We had stories set in the 17th century when witchcraft was rife, a sports day filled with magic and mayhem, a lightning blast power used to beat school bullies and a story about finding out your magical destiny! All from a group of 7 and 8 years olds with amazing imaginations✨️
