Wizard's Workshop


"I'm a big fan of Harry Potter, so I thought this class Wizards' Workshop would be fun to take!" said Hannah Weber of Hufflepuff House.

Ms. Rae Temple, who has taught this wonderful wizardry class for three years now, has no shortage of magic!

She has some very enjoyable games to play like Wizards' Checkers which is a game similar to "Wizards' Chess" the game from the Harry Potter books and Muggles' Quidditch. These young wizards have completed many magical projects from making their own Hogwarts' maps to predicting the future with tea leaves. Aaron Cipriani of Slytherin House said, “I thought making our own wands was really fun.”

Ms. Temple said she started the class because so many kids are interested in Harry Potter, and she is, too!

“I’ve never read any of the Harry Potter books, but I’ve seen some of the movies!” explained Sydney Keller of Gryffindor House.

The third and fourth grade students were each put into a house based on the sorting hat. Four people were in each, and they competed for house points throughout the week. The winning house got a surprise prize on Friday!
