Talk about a class trip to remember! A lucky class from a school in Australia had a chance to visit the set of the Voyage of the Dawn Treader, where they met Will Poulter, Shane Rangi and had a great time seeing a Minotaur, Dwarf and a Faun all up close.
A trip to the mainland to check out the set of Narnia turned into a star-studded occasion for the Year 2 class at Dunwich State School from North Stradbroke Island. Teacher Nicole Van Leeuwen took her class of 23 students, eight parents, a teacher’s aide and another teacher on “the excursion of the year!”
“It was a bit hard to tell who was more excited, the kids or the adults, when the Minotaur came over to say hello,” Ms Van Leeuwen said.
“The kids wanted him to put on his bull’s head so they chanted, ‘put it on’, which is not what we adults would have done.”
As well as the Minotaur, played by Shane Rangi, the group met one of the stars of the film, Will Poulter, who plays Cousin Eustace; one of the fawns; and a number of pirates.
