Pupils in the younger class had a little try at writing with quills, chalk and slate. This tied in nicely with their current topic of school long ago. We disused how quill writing and writing on slate with chalk was how pupils were expected to write long ago. Pupils used the Hogwarts writing paper to practise handwriting and while we didn’t have real ink – we did have a try at writing with the quill and some black paint. Some pupils found the quills a little big for their tiny hands which resulted in a few tickles under their noses.
