A Journey through the Magic of Hogwarts

Harry Potter, the seven-book series by author J.K. Rowling, is one of the most successful of all time. The love of this magical world activates the minds of young and old and, for two days in May the Junior School brought this inspiration to life.

 

Our Harry Potter days saw the corridors of our very own Hogwarts swarming with witches and wizards and the theme threaded through every part of our days and our learning. Magical Maths, herbology, 3D Hogwarts designing and potion-making were some of the exciting and enriching activities rolled out for the young magicians. To top it off, we all enjoyed some very energetic“quaffle”chasing and broomstick flying skills in our own version of the magic world’s favourite game – Quidditch.

 

The days were a chance for everyone to try something new and to be inspired to reach beyond our normal thinking and expectations. We also reflected as a school, on the similarities between the imaginary school of Hogwarts and our own school. Much like in the books, our house system represents opportunities for pupils to achieve bigger things by working together as a team and combining their individual talents. Also, much like in the books, a set of values are expected and followed by the most successful and well-liked characters in the piece.

Life at Hogwarts is not always easy. Friendships, learning and growing up are all themes seen in the Harry Potter stories and our own school life. We loved having these two worlds cross over for a few days and know that through imagination, dedication, enthusiasm, and hard work the children will carry on showing us their own individual magic every day!
