At the end of September, members of Orwell Arts gathered in the dining hall to celebrate the arrival of autumn and the festival of Michaelmas.
The celebration began with a beautiful performance by the music group, who sang a song about Saint Michael. Dhaoud from the Media Team then entertained everyone with a quiz.
Next, members of the glass workshop presented a creative retelling of the traditional Michaelmas story with a twist. After Saint Michael defeated the dragon, a curious archaeologist from Orwellia searched the battlefield and discovered a dragon egg. The egg began to hatch, and from it emerged a gentle baby dragon. Instead of breathing fire, it released warm puffs of air that filled people with courage. The people named the dragon Puff, and it became a symbol of hope and kindness in the kingdom.
To end the celebration on a joyful note, the music group led everyone in singing Puff the Magic Dragon. A perfect way to close a lovely afternoon.
