For many years, Sunjata and his
friends moved from one
small kingdom to another. Sometim
es, they had to move on to
escape traps set for them by Sunjata’
s half-brother.
Each time, when the people he
met asked their wise elders to
convince Sunjata to stay, the elders
said …
“Sunjata is a fine warrior and leader,
but a great future
lies ahead of him. We must let
him go and find it. Then he
will return.”
Wherever
Sunjata went,
things improved.
The people were
always sorry to
see him go.

There’s a great range of
genres in the scheme and
good links to cross-curricular
topics: all classes use the
Galaxy books – with Ofsted’s
focus on reading around the
curriculum, these are really
helpful. We love the links
with Geography in particular
– these have grabbed the
attention of the children.
