Stratford dresses up for Purim and World Book Day 2023 in support of Concern Turkey-Syria Earthquake Emergency Appeal

NEWS / 7 March 2023

Dressing up for World Book Day and Purim is back! And back in style! Amongst many literary characters in school today, Spiderman, Harry Potter, Willie Wonka and a clatter of Mr Men characters were all distinctive around the classrooms today, Tuesday 7th March. See the Web Gallery for lots of photos. https://www.concern.net/donate...

We also got to celebrate Purim and World Book Day as part of the 3rd Year Assembly, organised by Ms Reynolds and ably MC'd by the 3rd Years. Thanks for a most competitive World Book Day Kahoot!

Ms McGill and the Drama students gave us all a sneak preview of the play that will be presented by them in April. It looks fantastic and we're all looking forward to it!
