A Magical Day for the Pre-Prep
March 12, 2010
On Friday 5th March the dining room at Hallfield looked like a set from a Harry Potter movie! Wizards, witches, magicians, pixies and elves queued for their lunches with a multitude of pink fairies – not all of them pupils! No we hadn’t all swallowed a magic potion or been the victim of a Potter spell, it was part of the activities for World Book Week and the theme was magic. Sean Connolly, in a non-magic world the voice of Horrid Henry, came disguised as a wizard and told stories – ‘Where the Wild Things Are’, ‘Winnie the Witch and the Dragon’, ‘Room on a Broom’ and ‘Snow White’, to a captivated audience of Pre-Prep children who took a book token home to buy their own magic story book. Who says children don’t like reading anymore?
