Day Twenty-Four

Another day on Oxtrad dawned hot and sunny - fingers crossed this weather lasts till the end of the programme now!  Once again, Major and Minor classes were held outside, with picnics and punting galore to celebrate the final week. 

Celebrations went on this afternoon for the Art, Photography and Architecture classes in the form of the Oxford Tradition Exhibition.  The pieces on show were truly superb, resulting from a combination of hard work and true flair which manifested over the past month into a really brilliant display.

This evening, celebrations went on for another class in the form of the Creative Writing Showcase.  A brilliant mixture of poetry, non-fiction writing and storytelling kept the audience's rapt attention, with everyone startled by the intrigue and emotion filling many of the pieces.

As I write, the Journalism class are preparing to hand out Oxtrad's premiere magazine - the Monitor - a well researched and thoroughly entertaining read.  Don't forget to read your child's copy when they get home!
