During Mrs Knight's year 9 French lesson some pupils succeeded in tricking Mrs Knight by following the French tradition of sticking a fish on an unsuspecting person's back. This is called 'Poisson d'avril' and takes place every 1st April! Mrs Knight tried hard to get Mrs Lynn and Mrs Goodridge but was not successful!! #teamdanebury #daneburyschool

Food Quote of the Week "If you are a chef, no matter how good a chef you are, it's not good cooking for yourself; the joy is in cooking for others. It's the same with music." will.i.am #daneburyschool #teamdanebury #daneburyfoodblog
