S3 Olive have been reading the book “The Tale Of Despereaux” by Kate DiCamillo. Despereaux, the mouse is a non-conformist and he finds himself in a predicament – he has fallen  in love with a human, Princess Pea. In doing so, Despereaux has broken the number one mouse rule of talking to humans. The entire mouse community and the Mouse Council have decided that he must be punished. As the ancient castle-mouse law decrees he is sent to the dungeon of darkness, the dungeon of rats.

S3 Olive wrote letters of advice and encouragement to Despereaux, from another character’s perspective.
