Friendship Day at Wilberforce House

Friday 20th January was a special day at Wilberforce House. We spent the day thinking about the importance of friends and how we can be good friend to everyone. School Council organised an assembly. Some classes made friendship bracelets, while others baked biscuits to share with each other. A particularly enjoyable part of the day was when the older girls and younger girls enjoyed spending time together.

The final takes place on 1st February, where out of the 86,500 children who entered, only 1026 have been invited to take part.
