I was amazed there were only on 4 actors but 12 characters. Hanaiya. A, class 6.
World Book Day On Thursday 5th March, we will be celebrating World Book Day. Which character will you be dressing up as? Each class will vote for their favourite best dressed character and prizes will be awarded in assembly. Headteacher for the Day Emma P was successful in winning the ‘Headteacher for the Day’ competition. Here are her thoughts on the experience: I really enjoyed being Headteacher for the day and going around the classes giving out Headteacher’s awards. I now know how hard it is to run a school and appreciate what Mr Vlahakis does for the school. I was given a budget of £500 and decided to spend it on some new playground equipment. Finally, it was a great opportunity and I really enjoyed the experience.
