Quidditch at New Hall School
The day began with a very exciting Sorting Ceremony, where pupils were sorted into either Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff or Slytherin House. After the Sorting Hat had determined the pupils’ houses, they embarked upon a series of magical classes, inspired by the wizarding world. The lessons were actually interactive workshops led by our wonderful staff, who are just as passionate about learning as Professor McGonagall or Dumbledore!
In our Library, pupils developed their creative writing skills and engaged with stories inspired by the Harry Potter books. Pupils enjoyed a short screening in our very own theatre, they visited our farm where they learnt about and held our visiting owls and in their Herbology lesson, pupils planted ‘magical’ seeds! Of course, no Quidditch Cup day would be complete without Quidditch! We may not have had flying brooms but pupils did travel in style to play Quidditch on their very own Hogwarts Express land train!
At lunch, pupils enjoyed a delicious banquet style feast and some Hogwarts-inspired treats, whilst they shared stories about the day’s adventures with their friends. After they had finished eating, pupils enjoyed engaging in activities including, a Chemistry Potions Masterclass, a Drama Charms Workshop and an Art Masterclass. The day ended with a trophy presentation to the Quidditch Cup Winners, Ravenclaw!
During the trophy presentation, we were so pleased to be able to recognise a number of pupils who had excelled during the course of the day at Quidditch. We are pleased to let you know that Avyan Sharma won ‘Best Beater,’ Chizara Ogbu won ‘Best Chaser,’ and Rishi Bhudia won, 'Best Keeper'.
We are extremely proud to receive the message below from a member of staff at New Hall, regarding the recent visits:
‘Thank you so much for supporting both of our recent events, i.e. our Music and Science event which your Year 6 pupils engaged extremely well with and our New Hall Quidditch Cup event which your Year 5 pupils also engaged with extremely well. It was so lovely to welcome your pupils and to see them so excited and engaged in the various activities we had planned for them. All of your pupils over the past 2 weeks have been an absolute credit to Ursuline and their behaviour was impeccable throughout the day.’
