This week, we took our reading outdoors for a very special Forest School reading session! We’ve reached the part of The Legend of Podkin One-Ear where Podkin (now with just one ear!) meets Brigid, the witch who lives deep in the woods and helps him while the Gorm are hunting for him.
It was the perfect setting to read this chapter, surrounded by trees, rustling leaves and the sounds of nature all around us. The forest made the story come alive and we could really imagine what it might have been like for Podkin hiding in the woods.
The children loved making connections between the book and their surroundings and many said it felt like they were inside the story!
We also had a special visitor. Do you recognise him?
