To celebrate the end of our topic about the life and times of William Shakespeare, Years 5 and 6 enjoyed a Tudor Day. They had prepared their own lunch of Vegetable Pottage and crusty bread and brought in an array of sweetmeats and savoury puddings to share at their banquet. This was rounded off with a slice of a beautifully crafted Globe Theatre cake. They all looked wonderful in their costumes and at the end of the day we all felt a little like Henry when he said of Falstaff: "He hath eaten me out of house and home;" (Henry IV Part 1). Well done everyone!

Representing the school, Jacob and Izzy officially opened the Guernsey National Trust’s Victorian Shop and Parlour today in the company of President, Martin Ozanne. This was done in special memory of the late patron, Lieutenant-Governor Air Marshall Peter Walker. Look out for the newspaper article which will appear in the Guernsey Press shortly. We’re told that sweets were involved somewhere along the line!

After exploring and discussing four titles this term in our Lunchtime Reading Group, the vote was taken yesterday. It was a real page-turner with only one vote between the top two books! The winning book was Animalium by Jenny Broom and in second place Pop Up New York by Jennie Maizels. We learned lots about the different ways information can be presented in books and had some exciting and engaging discussions.
