Festive Fun!<br />

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Experience!<br />

What better way to conclude our<br />

festive fun than with the amazing<br />

“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”<br />

experience, organised and run<br />

over two weeks by our creative<br />

and talented Form 5Y students,<br />

mentioned below. The decorations<br />

they had made were phenomenal<br />

and the whole library was<br />

transformed into the interior of Willy<br />

Wonka’s Chocolate factory, with<br />

chocolate wrappers and Golden<br />

Tickets everywhere we looked!<br />

The students, like the S1s had<br />

done with their HP experience,<br />

adjusted their script to include virus<br />

related safety measures. Guests<br />

were given, as they were waiting,<br />

themed activities to do, including<br />

a chocolate wrapper and a sweet<br />

wrapper competition, organised by<br />

Ella Walker. During the experience,<br />

the guests would be entertained<br />

with a little history of what brought<br />

them there, a chocolate related<br />

mischief, a quiz on Roald Dahl’s<br />

iconic book, a magic trick and<br />

colourful samples of the factory’s<br />

products, namely yummy drinks<br />

and chocolates. Many thanks to<br />

Mr Hennigan for providing the<br />

lemonade and shot glasses.<br />

The experience was so popular,<br />

that the organisers had to<br />

adjust the script several times<br />

to accommodate a few more<br />

enthusiastic form 5Ys who wanted<br />

to help out. Very well done to:<br />

Ella Walker, Darcey Gibson, Oliver<br />

Timberlake, Anmaul Lehal, Grace<br />

Siame, Zoe Wolferstan, Nishita<br />

Srinivas, with support from Vivaan<br />

Srinivas, Niharika Juneenath and<br />

Izzy Jones on their respective form<br />

days. Thank you also to the students<br />

of form 5Y who joined later in the<br />

team effort: Harriet Guinan, Amret<br />

Nijjer, Lilly Winter, Hari Rajkumar<br />

and Leo Geston. Thank you all so<br />

much, you were wonderful!<br />

We celebrated the festive season by<br />

making and putting up decorations.<br />

Our super creative S1 group made<br />

the VI form room in the Library<br />

their Christmas HQ from which an<br />

endless stream of paperchains and<br />

snowflakes was produced!<br />

Children from F3 to S1 took part<br />

in the “Snowmen of Literature”<br />

competition which gave us some<br />

amazing snowmen dressed as book<br />

characters. Congratulation to the<br />

winners! They were: Lily Messer,<br />

Amelia Carthy + Scarlett Tombs,<br />

Poppy Ward, Amelie Ewing-Gerrard,<br />

Tanveer Nijjer.<br />
