The second half of term has started with a real bang! (Sorry. Bad joke, I couldn't resist!)The first Sunday back, saw us head off to Clarkes village. The children enjoyed the chance to move around the shops. If truth be told the sweet shop still appears to be the favourite destination, although sports shops and pasty shops now run a close second and third.
The Boarders' Fireworks Night had to be cancelled on the first Friday back due to poor weather. We re-scheduled for the Tuesday , which also co-insided with the Year 5 sleep over night. We had a fantastic time eating chocolate covered apples and making shapes in the air with sparklers as Mr Veal's expertly lit fire roared behind us. Next came the main event. Mr Hannah, assisted by Mr Veal and Mr Hodgetts treated us to a twenty minute display of bright colour and banging noise. as you can see from the photos, we all had an amasing time.
Last Sunday the children cooked their own three course meal. We split into groups and prepared different courses, all under the watchful eye of our catering manager Emma! The menu was as follows:
Soup with Blintzes
Pancakes with Roasted Vegetables and meatballs, in a creamy tomato sauce, topped with cheese
Cupcakes with butter icing
The children had a fantastic time making their meall and then all sat down together as a family to polish off all the food.
Next weekend is Exeat weekend!
