What are we Reading?

English – The Magic Faraway Tree Adventure

This term, pupils will be exploring The Enchanted Wood and the magical world of The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton. This classic story takes children on an unforgettable adventure with Jo, Bessie, and Fanny as they discover a mysterious tree deep in the enchanted wood. At the top of the tree, they find a series of ever-changing lands, each filled with wonder, surprises, and quirky characters like Moon-Face, Silky the fairy, and the Saucepan Man.

Through this text, children will:

  • Immerse themselves in imaginative settings, learning how authors create magical worlds.

  • Explore rich vocabulary and descriptive language, helping them write their own creative stories.

  • Develop reading comprehension skills by predicting, summarising, and discussing characters and events.

  • Engage in creative writing tasks, inspired by the magical lands at the top of the Faraway Tree.

This enchanting story encourages curiosity, creativity, and a love of reading, making it a perfect choice for developing both literacy skills and imagination.
