half-term draws to a close with house celebration!

After another very busy and productive half-term, it was great to close with a celebration of all the House events and achievements that have taken place.

Pictured are the House Reading Champions for this Half-Term: Thomas, Fenner, Musa, Evie and Mabel, who read the highest number of books from our Library. Well Done all, and to Musa for also winning the House Spring into Reading Challenge!

House Puzzle Week was another opportunity for students to participate in challenges in order to win points. Students (and staff) from across the year groups and houses competed to complete challenging numerical and word puzzles, and congratulations particularly to Zach, Geo, Katie and Ethan, who solved the highest number of puzzles thus earning bonus points for themselves and their respective houses!

Please also see earlier articles for news about the winners of the House New Era writing competition and the Inter-House Chess Tournament.
