Over the last half term, Year 5 have produced amazing work around the insightful allegory, ‘The Rabbits,’ by John Marsden and Shaun Tan.

They have created a class anthology of poems, hot off the press newspaper articles and with little rehearsal produced a broadcast all about the invasion of Rabbits to a new exotic land (The British Invasion in Australia) – the artwork featured is based on aboriginal art each child created.
