Hogwarts students celebrated Harry's 11th birthday with cupcakes sent by Hagrid himself. Once wands had chosen their students, all first years learned their first incantation...Wingardium Leviosa, under the supervision of Professor Flitwick.
In Magizoology, we are following in the footsteps of the illustrious magizoologist, Newt Scamander. Every day we encounter a different fantastic beast and diligently record our sightings in our field journals. Perhaps we'll see a dragon this week?
The American Girls have been trying out recipes inspired by the historical characters, especially those of Felicity, Kit and Molly. We have made crafts like punched "tin" art, tissue paper flowers, and even had a doll photoshoot.
Last week, Camp Half-Blood was visited by a reporter from the South Pasadena Review who will be featuring our class in a story. Look for it sometime in the next week or two. Percy and his faithful companions have been spending some time in the armory, which has been helpful on their quest to face the God of the Underworld, Hades. They did have to stop to rest and refuel a couple of times, notably with Delphi Strawberries, ambrosia and nectar.
Finally, the house elves are pleased to report that the student trainees are doing better than expected helping out in the kitchen. However, it does seem that they are sampling a bit too zealously, especially when there's custard or pasties involved. Hardly anything makes it out to the Great Hall for supper!
P.S. If you are a wizarding or half-blood family, look out for the movie permission slip, we'll need those if we want to watch either of the Harry Potter movies or Percy Jackson! You can also email me at miss_cong [at] hotmail.com if you didn't get the form or have lost it.
