JK Rowling has inspired school children of Denbighshire after sending them a letter by ‘owl post’. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The letter from the famous authors thanks Denbighshire children for getting in touch with her and tells them she is hoping to write another children’s book soon. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The magical response came as a response to an officer from the education department of Denbighshire County Council who sent J K Rowling a letter to tell her about the Harry Potter themed event happening in Denbighshire during British Science Week and as if by magic, a reply came stamped with ‘owl post’. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Ysgol Bodfari, near Denbigh, was successfully been awarded a grant from the British Science Association (BSA) through its “Kick Start Scheme” and the school’s Harry Potter themed event has been given the prestigious honour of being selected as a UK flagship for British Science Week (10-19 March 2017). ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Pupils and staff will use Harry Potter’s magical wizarding world to think about science within the context of the changes happening in the world around them, sharing their discoveries via social media with other schools in Denbighshire, regionally and nationally. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
