To launch our first Talk4Writing unit, Class 4 took on the roles of the brave Athenians who were led into the Labyrinth by Prince Theseus! Wearing blindfolds to replicate the darkness, we carefully followed the rope which Theseus unwound, to ensure that we could escape. As the gruesome roar of the Minotaur bellowed across the school field, pupils celebrated Theseus as he slayed the beast and all escaped to safety!
