Recently, 5th class read ‘War Horse’ by Michael Morpurgo as their class novel and really enjoyed it. We had a Twitter Q&A session with the Irish National Stud to answer some of the more technical questions from the book and we blogged about that here.
As part of a prize for our excellent attendance, we watched ‘War Horse’ the film over the last few wet lunchtimes. It was really interesting watching it as the film of a book that we’d recently read. Our teacher noticed that we discussed the story a lot as we went along and we kept pointing out similarities and differences between the book and film. We then made a podcast of our thoughts. Well done to Johnny for leading the podcast!
We have to warn you that the podcast contains a lot of spoilers. We recommend that you read the book and watch the film first, if you haven’t already, and then you’ll enjoy our podcast all the more!
