Okay, so that heading is maybe a bit misleading, but it is the premise of our Thursday lunchtime get-togethers which started earlier this term. As a Tolkien fan, any excuse\u00a0to discuss the books, particularly Lord of the Rings<\/em> and The Hobbit<\/em>, is welcome. We do try to do things Middle Earth related, but in reality the session is a revival of something that evolved a couple of years ago when the Pupil Librarians could\u00a0make themselves a\u00a0hot chocolate on a Thursday lunchtime.<\/p>\n

So, Hot Chocolate Thursdays<\/em> were born and now renewed… with a passing look at all things Tolkien, whether doing quizzes, discussing the books or listening to audiobooks. Today, around\u00a0eight pupils joined us to partake of a hot choc ad play Lord of the Rings Monopoly – it was a BIG hit with pupils from S1, 2, 5 & 6 being involved. Twenty minutes, though is not a long time to play the game so effectively it was ‘speed’ Monopoly meaning players had to be on the ball in terms of ensuring they got their rent. To enable a little continuity and a chance of finishing the game, each players’ money and property was clipped together so they can restart next week from ‘Go’ with their ‘possessions’ intact.<\/p>\n
