St George's Day

In assembly earlier in the week, Mrs Devlin gave KS2 the full St George’s Day Generation Game Conveyor Belt Experience to see how many Very English Things they could memorise. We had another go in Class 8 today, with impressive results, many of the children beating Mr Barnes’s admittedly modest score. We also talked about today being the anniversary of both Shakespeare’s birth and his death, how Cervantes died the same day, and how the people of Barcelona celebrate the 23rd of April with roses and books.
