Well done to everyone who took part and, in particular, to Felix, Kwame and Henry who took the runner up spot. As part of our World Book Day activities, we welcomed Candy Gourlay, award-winning author of Bone Talk and Wild Song to speak to our Lower School and Abingdon Prep pupils about reading, writing and stories. After an inspiring talk and book signing in the Amey Theatre, Candy ran a writing workshop. Using the example of Narnia, Candy inspired our pupils to create their own characters who explored portals into other worlds. Candy Gourlay visits Geographical quiz
