Our Kensuke’s Kingdom Adventure!

Since returning to school after half term, Year 5 have been diving into our new class text, Kensuke’s Kingdom. We’ve read up to the part where Michael finds himself stranded on a mysterious desert island after falling off his boat (The Peggy Sue). He’s even been receiving food and water — but he still has no idea who is leaving it for him!
This week, we wrote our own diary entries pretending to be Michael, describing the island, our thoughts and our feelings as if we were really there. We practiced using lots of description, emotion, and our imaginations.

Next week, we’ll be creating our very own Survival Guides, explaining how to stay safe, find food and manage life on a desert island — just like Michael. Year 5 have really enjoyed the story so far and we’ll continue to make links with other exciting texts throughout the year. We can’t wait to see where our reading journey takes us next!
