On Monday 3rd July, Badminton School welcomed local author Archie Cotterell to officially open their new Arctic Cabin.
The Arctic Cabin offers girls at Badminton the space to learn outside of a typical classroom environment, an area to escape the modern world of technology, reflect or simply just spend time with their friends.
Mr Cotterell reinforced the importance of reading to the girls and spoke of how reading is an excellent method to widen ones imagination. He explained how the girls can benefit from their new Arctic Cabin as it provides them with a space to read and write in a peaceful and calm environment. He told the girls that “writing gives you a tremendous sense of freedom” and explained to them that “to be a good writer you must be a good reader, and to be a good reader you must make frequent time in your schedule to read daily”.
Ms Davies, Head of Junior School commented: “We were really pleased to welcome Archie Cotterell to Badminton to open our new Arctic Cabin today. The girls are already looking forward to some of their lessons moving outdoors to this fantastic new space and following Archie’s visit, using the Cabin as a tranquil area to lose themselves in the world of literature”.
