Year 5 Harry Potter WOW Day Year 5 enjoyed a truly magical start to the new term with their Harry Potter 'Wow Day' on Monday. The children were first 'sorted' into their Hogwarts houses during a special ceremony, where they met their Professors before moving on to a range of exciting, book-inspired activities. These included designing their own house emblems, taking part in chaotic (but safe!) potion-making science experiments with Professor Snape, and creating imaginative spells inspired by J.K. Rowling's rich and creative language. The day was filled with wonder, creativity and excitement, making it an incredible and memorable experience for all.

Good afternoon everyone! We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas break. We would like to ask our families if you have any Christmas jumpers or cardigans that you no longer need and would be happy to donate. We would be extremely grateful for any contributions. Please hand any donations in at the school office. Thank you so much for your continued support!
