The Chronicles of Narnia book series written by CS Louis, has taken myself and the children into a world of fantasy and adventure. I have enjoyed reading them as much as they have, it's been hard to put the books down.

| Chronicals of Narnia |
The books sparked much creativity and the building of this wonderful ship. We have no craft materials with us in France just yet so the children are finding whatever they can to be creative with. We've received some packages in cardboard boxes which have been used for their making of their Narnia ship and a castle. The figures were made from Stockmar beeswax.

| Lights for the bowsprit |
The ship journeys across many oceans and needs light on the bowsprit.
 |
| Adding the ropes |
The mast made from a stick they found along with matchstick railings, ropes and windows embellished the ship. Ladders were constructed to climb from the lower deck to the upper deck with sticks and cardboard.
 |
| Lifting the sail for still waters |
Ship AHOY! Adding the sail from some material, completed the project, ready for its journey to the faraway islands.
 |
| Sailing the boat in the ocean |
A blue sheet became the deep dark blue ocean for the ship to sail in search of land.
 |
| Bows and swords |
They carved many bows and arrows from bendable sticks they found in the nearby woods. The boys cleaned them up and sharpened their arrows with their knives. They are good strong weapons.
 |
| Narnian with his torch |
A Narnian character from the book, there were many more but went to battle.

| Sania testing the string of his bow |
We have some keen young Archers.
