This past Friday, and continuing for the next three Fridays, students have/will be participating in Explorations Activities. They had the opportunity to select from a variety of different activities that our staff are sharing with them from 1:30pm-2:30pm. Some examples of the activities are Make & Do, Knitting, Yoga, Theatre Tech, Lego, etc. Please ask your child which activity they signed up for and how they enjoyed the first week.
Here is a Hogwart’s House Points update: Gryffindor – 3,020 Ravenclaw – 2,920 Hufflepuff – 2,760 and Slytherin – 2,693
Tomorrow, we encourage all students to wear their house shirts for points…..perhaps, if you don’t remind your children to wear them, the Slytherin team (Staff) might have a chance to catch up!
