Your invitation has arrived. The academy is waiting.

Welcome to Wandermere Academy of the Arcane Arts — where pupils don’t just study grammar, they use it to save the school.

Five missions. Five spells. One unforgettable first week of school.

The 5 Missions:
The House Sorting Ceremony: Pupils discover which Wandermere house they belong to — Kinsbridge, Swiftbolt, or Deepvale — by identifying the sentence structures that best reflect their personality.

School Supply Scramble: Cackle-Pixies have run off with the punctuation and capitalisation from the official school supplies list. Pupils hunt down the errors before the train leaves the platform.

Class Schedule Chaos: Pupils correct over-regularised past-tense and perfect-tense verbs to stabilise the master schedule.

Charms Class-tastrophe: Pupils repair the damage by selecting the correct coordinating and subordinating conjunctions.

Sweet Spelling Swirl: The Welcoming Feast desserts are trapped in a spinning vortex, pupils must unscramble high-priority spelling words and bypass trick decoy letters to bring the platters safely down to the tables.

Skills Covered:
Sentence structure (simple, compound, and complex)
Capitalisation, commas in a list, possessive vs. plural apostrophes, and parenthetical commas
Irregular and perfect tense verb forms
Coordinating (FANBOYS) and subordinating conjunctions
Spelling demons including double consonants, “i before e,” and -ough endings

What’s Included:
5 narrative-driven grammar puzzle activities
Built-in spell-unlock codebreaker in every mission
4 bonus magical classroom icebreakers for the first week of school
Blank Wandermere Crest template
Full answer keys for all five activities
Print-and-go format — no preparation required

Harry Potter fans and magical theme classrooms
First week team building
