It was wonderful to see all of Lower School dressed up for the day and despite being inside for the parade lots of fun was had. Thank you to all the parents who put such effort into the costumes. The children looked amazing and it was great fun guessing who everyone was.

Lower School Book Factor
This year a number of Lower School pupils visited the library on Wednesday lunchtime, eager to share their favourite reads with the audience and the panel of judges. Pupils spoke with passion and insight into a variety of different titles, ranging from comedy to drama and adventure, even including some philosophy! Winners will be announced in Assembly on Monday, but all pupils who entered will earn a Commend for their House.
Well done to all of this year’s contestants – for anyone interested, the list of recommended reads can be found attached to this week’s Bulletin.
Thank you to everyone who was involved in this week, both Staff and pupils. I hope you all had fun and enjoyed your reading! Remember, in the wise words of Doctor Seuss, “The more you read, the more you know, the more you know, the more places you’ll go!”
Mrs Hunt (Librarian) and Mrs Pendred (Lower School English Co-Ordinator)
