Book week

The school held a book week where different people were invited in to read from favourite books. I read an old favourite from Kipling's Just So stories. "How the Elephant Got His Trunk".
On the final day, the children were asked to go as a favourite story book character. Tommy won special mention for his costume as the Chief of Treasure Island. Robin dressed as T. E. Lawrence, (Lawrence of Arabia,) in a jallaba and carrying a rifle, although one of the most anally retentive teachers in the school took the gun away from him, provoking an attack of tears and moodiness.

At the end of the assembly, Tommy was presented with a silver medal for his efforts in the Under "8" Shot Put.
