Purple House Breakfast
Parents and boys had a colourful and early start to their day on Friday 25th January when they relished a delicious breakfast brought into school by the boys of Purple House, served by Purple teachers. A lovely way to start the day – what could possibly be better than hot chocolate, pastries and muffins to get you going on a cold Friday morning in January? All proceeds going to The Alzheimers Society.

Orange House Poetry Slam
Inspired by a visit from poet Joshua Seigal who ran a workshop for Years 4 to 6, MS and SS boys focussed on the fun of expressing themselves through words and communicating that to an audience in the Poetry Slam performances of their work this week. The result was a wonderful couple of lunchtimes in which the audience (the boys themselves and staff) were entertained, moved and made to think. All poems were written and performed by the boys, and the audience was encouraged to display their appreciation by applause or even whoops, giving the boys a wonderful sense of achievement and a confidence boost.

Year 8 Greek Competition (individual performances)
The Greekists were particularly impressive as they have only been studying the language for the last couple of terms and they were performing on their own.
