As part of Magdalen College School’s partnership and community engagement work, we hosted over six hundred pupils from fifteen local schools for an interactive show by author and cartoonist Jeff Kinney at the Oxford Playhouse. Jeff Kinney is the bestselling author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books.

The show marked the launch of his latest Wimpy Kid book Wrecking Ball and many children joined Jeff to take part in the themed activities which included Dumpster Diving and The Build Challenge. The cheering reached a crescendo when four brave teachers took to the stage for the Dance Break competition and showed us their best moves!

Thanks to our Partnership Co-ordinator Mrs Michelle McDonough for organising the event, made even more special because it was one of only two appearances that Jeff Kinney made on his 36-hour whistlestop tour of the UK.
