Year Four Book Launch What an unforgettable book launch as we stepped into Narnia! Our adventure began by filling out our evacuation tags before boarding the "train" and arriving at the Professor's house, where we discovered the magical wardrobe. Stepping through, we found ourselves in Narnia, seeking out the lamppost through the woods. We then visited Mr Tumnus' cosy cave with two chairs and a pot of food. After sneaking through the dark woods back to the lamp post, we made a little too much noise and were discovered by the White Witch! She left behind hot chocolate and Turkish delight for us to taste. To escape her spell, we searched for Aslan the Great and finally found the four thrones of the Princes and Princesses of Narnia. We then quietly returned through the wardrobe to Parkside, before enjoying Turkish delight and hot chocolate while listening to the next chapter of our book. What an exciting, magical day we had in Narnia!
