A favourite memory by Tom in Year Seven.

Why We Should Ban Playtimes
Charlie in Year Five has written a very persuasive essay as to why we should get rid of playtimes. I'm sure I don't need to emphasise that he in fact loves his playtimes, but was ordered to try and get them banned for the purposes of a persuasive essay.

Aladdin
An extract from a recount by Charlie in Year Five of his time in the Christmas play.
