On World Book Day, we welcomed Helen Dennis, author of 'The Secret Breakers' and 'River of Ink' series, to Feltonfleet. Helen led a succession of workshops throughout the day for pupils in Years 3 to 7, linked to the themes of her books – code breaking, secrets and mystery!

Using interactive props and enthusiastic volunteers, Helen inspired the pupils to, not only be adventurous in their story writing, but also adventurous in their book choices, encouraging the older children to choose to read about characters vastly different to themselves to expand their awareness of issues such as disability and cultural differences.

In celebration of World Book Day, pupils and staff dressed as their favourite book characters. More images from the day can be found on our website Gallery page.

The Upper School ski trip is a true rite of passage for our pupils as they edge closer to Destination 13, the pinnacle of their Feltonfleet journey. This winter, Alpendorf’s pristine slopes set the stage for a week of skiing, schnitzels, and snow-filled adventures. The pupils embraced every moment with enthusiasm and camaraderie - we're so proud for their spirit and impeccable conduct! ⛷️ Huge thanks to the team at @snowslippers_ who helped to ensure we all had an amazing trip. #FeltonfleetDestination13 #FeltonfleetCrossCurricularLearning

Did you know that today is National Bubble Bath Day? As we embark on a new year, this day aligns perfectly with health and wellness resolutions, emphasising the importance of taking time for oneself, especially after the busy holiday season.
