Last year, I wrote about the House year being like no other and how I hoped a return to normality would mean we could put on more house events this year. I did not think then that this year would be more affected than the last.
This year we celebrated World Book Day a little later than usual due to the COVID-19 national lockdown.
We held two competitions where students were asked to submit a ‘bookish limerick’ or a photograph of themselves reading in an unusual place. We had a fantastic response to both competitions and would like to share our winning entries with you all. Thank you to everyone who took part this year.
We were very impressed with the number of students that took part in our first Inter- House Reading Competition this year. Collectively, over a thousand books were read! Well done to all those who took part and a huge thank you to the House Captains and Vice House Captains who collated the figures.
Cedars – 393 books, Palmer - 370 books and Sidmouth - 280 books
