National Poetry Day
On Wednesday 5th October, the Junior School is pleased to host an Open Mic event for Junior School students to launch an early celebration of National Poetry Day. The Open Mic event will be available at lunch time (12:15-1:00pm) in the amphitheatre and we encourage students to read or recite a poem of their choice in any language to celebrate all things poetry! As this is during lunchtime, this event is optional for Junior School students, however we hope to encourage as many students as possible to celebrate a love of language with us either by performing or listening to the spoken word.
We look forward to celebrating with our students!
