What is Behind the Door? The Year 5/6 EAL class were searching the playground for inspiration when they come across a very intriguing tree. The tree had what looked like a front door recessed into it.

So, what was behind this door? This is where the amazing imaginations of the Year 5/6 EAL class came to the fore and many ideas began to flow. So back to their class room they went and began the exercise of expressing their ideas. Getting children to tap into their imaginations is a great way to help them use and develop language in its proper context. Having some fun along the way helps to reinforce the lesson. Have a squizz at some of our photos! After lots of discussion this group went on to produce some highly creative written ideas that included a range of imaginary creatures and a hidden world of 4D space!
