The children in Year 5 received a mysterious golden invitation inviting them to visit and explore the wonders of the “Nowhere Emporium”. They excitedly entered the smaller classroom in the Y56 POD only to discover that it had transformed – as if by magic – into an emporium of wonders!

There were dragons and owls, cards and potions, a well-dress mannequin, jewels and an array of other intriguing objects that captured our attention and sent our imaginations running wild.

When they returned to their classrooms, the children discovered that they would be reading “The Nowhere Emporium” this term and that their writing work would be centered around this book.

It was certainly a fantastic ‘hook’ to get us all excited for our English lessons!
