Day Two

Today in Hogwarts we studied the colorful vocabulary used in the books! Don't be surprised if your favorite little wizard utters a sentence such as, "Blimey that smarmy bloke has a jaunty way of wearing his robes!" Mr. Ollivander is expected to stop by tomorrow to fit everyone with wands.

In Book Cooks, we read a poem from James and the Giant Peach and then made some egg salad, using stink bugs' eggs of course! Some of us even washed it down with peach juice.

Day One

Did you manage to catch the train at Platform 9 3/4?

Did you find out what's really inside popcorn?

Hogwarts welcomed students for Years One and Two. Four students were named Prefects of their respective Houses: Cade, Archer, Maximum, and Adam.

In Book Cooks, we read The Popcorn Book by Tomie de Paola and popped up a few batches! We first tried using the new-fangled popcorn maker seen in the picture above. As it turns out, a regular old saucepan worked even better!
