With the sponsorship of the Kasuma Trust and the Speakers Trust, students were given the exciting opportunity to visit the Charles Dickens Museum last week.
The museum’s education team delivered interactive and informative workshops and guided tours, which allowed the students to connect with Dickens on a personal level and deepen their understanding of the Victorian era. Among other things, the students were impressed with the realistic table settings which very clearly demonstrated the class difference that persisted during the period, and they found the idea of having a pet crow rather humorous.
Supervised by Ms. Senior, Ms. Ishaq, and Mr. McKoy, the trip was a resounding success, with the students fully engaged in the tour and inspired by it. In fact, the students responded so well to questions asked that the museum staff commented, “They were brilliant!” at the end of the tour.
Overall, the visit was a valuable and enriching experience for the students, and one that will hopefully inspire them to explore their own creativity and imagination.

TERROR KID – by Benjamin Zephaniah
Our Pupil Librarians have chosen this book for May.
A great book showing how easily we can be tricked and led astray.
You will have Rico’s back the whole way, but he makes some poor choices and doesn’t realise what is actually going on.
Suddenly he finds himself in serious trouble……
Why not join us in reading our monthly book? Let the library know what you think of them 🙂
