<strong>Cranford</strong> celebrated another very enjoyable DREAM rewards day on<br />

Friday 8th July, <strong>2016</strong>. Over 800 students enjoyed a fun activity as<br />

a result of all their hard work this year. As well as old favourites such<br />

as Thorpe Park and Brighton beach there were new trips this summer to<br />

Whipsnade Zoo, Windsor Castle and the National Space Centre in Leicester<br />

while Brentford FC, Queens Park Rangers and Motivate Hounslow kept<br />

some of the students on their toes in the school’s sports facilities. One<br />

student, Adewole Agboola (year 7), described his trip bowling as “the<br />

best day ever”. Certainly at the end of another fantastic Activities Week<br />

much fun was had by all.<br />

In<br />

year 7 drama the students explore<br />

the themes of Harry Potter during<br />

the spring term. They are in houses<br />

throughout and go through this magical<br />

journey as Harry does to deal with the all<br />

the demons and dangers along the way.<br />

They work creatively to find solutions in<br />

their houses and compete to win a trip to<br />

the Harry Potter Studios.<br />

At the end of the term 30 students were<br />

the proud winners and on Monday 8th July<br />

<strong>2016</strong> we made our way to the studios where<br />

all the Harry Potter films have been filmed,<br />

and what a wonderful experience it was,<br />

to see how special effects are done, how masks and costumes are made, how each and every aspect<br />

that we take for granted when we watch a film has so much hard work and creativity poured into it to<br />

transports us into this world. Every child knows about Harry Potter and many adults have tuned into<br />

his world. Being at the studios certainly has a wow factor. You are transported into the reality of the<br />

film and how it is made and appreciate what goes into taking the idea in a writers head as seed to the<br />

big screen and into our homes. Our students had a thoroughly enjoyable time and appreciated the art<br />

of filming making even more.<br />
