In reading, we’ve been enjoying Enid Blyton’s The Enchanted Wood. We’ve read the first two chapters and met Joe, Beth and Frannie as they moved into their new home near the mysterious wood.

The children have loved imagining what it might be like to discover such a magical place. We’ve been busy making predictions about what could happen next:
- Who might live in the wood?
- What secrets will the children uncover?
- What adventures might be waiting at the top of the Faraway Tree?
Everyone has been eager to share their ideas and it’s been wonderful to see such creativity and excitement in our discussions. We can’t wait to read more and find out what happens next.
Help at home by discussing the story with your child. Can they summarise what has happened so far? Help your child to make some connections – does the story remind them of something they’ve done, seen or read before?
