St. Charles obsessed 

with loombandsHave you noticed there areloombands all over the place?Rainbow coloured tiny rubberbands you weave and tie andstretch and bend to makebracelets or other decorations.

They are easy to use and you canbe creative! Combine colours andshapes, don’t be afraid toexperiment, and if you are everstuck, just ask the Year 4 girls forhelp.

Harry Potter is everywhere.You can see displays inevery classroom and allaround the school hall.Have you noticed all theletters from Hogwarts?What about the books, andhats, and magic potions?

Well, the Sorting Hat washere on the very first schoolday. Every single child inour school sat on the chairand the Sorting Hat sent usto our house teams, justlike in the Harry Pottermagical world. We even gotspecial wizard writing pensand book marks.

And this is not all! If youspot four fierce dragons inthe hall, do not worry. Theyare our Dragon pointskeepers.

We told you. Harry Potter iseverywhere.
