n Thursday 24th June we were able to celebrate Harry Potter Book Night, later in the year than usual, and a much anticipated annual event for Potter fans around the world. The theme for this year was ‘Diagon Alley’.

Lots of lessons were magic themed with Potions replacing science and boys headed outside in their Art lesson to build their own ‘Hagrid’s Hut’. At lunchtime there were very yummy Wizard’s hat muffins on offer in the dining halls. Our year 4 boys headed into Nash’s library after lunch to try their hand at making a golden snitch, a monster bookmark, or a wizard’s lantern. Year 3 boys had their chance
after school to make a lantern or their own wizard’s money bag. Mrs Carrington finished the evening by reading aloud from ‘Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone’. The boys heard about Harry’s first visit to Diagon Alley. Our colouring competition this year was a very detailed picture of Diagon Alley. There were some beautiful entries and judging was not easy. However, the winners were 1st Joseph Ram, 2nd Guy Jones, 3rd Joshua Featherstone.
