All Hallows Boarders Blog: Snow and the start of term!

The boarders started off the term with their thursday night activity being the 'Build a burger' contest.

As you can see from the pictures this was a night of excess! Armed with a plethora of ingredients, the aim was to build the biggest and best burger possible. Prizes were given for the tallest, the most aesthetically pleasing, and the most fillings (successfully eaten by the builder). Great fun was had by all and no horses were harmed in the making of this night…!

We are getting used to these now! The school looked a picture as it was covered in a thick blanket of snow. The children needed no extra encouragement to don; hats, coats scarves, wellies and gloves and charge off into the snow. As previously it was all hands to the pump as minus many domestic staff, Mrs Hannah, Miss Kerr and Mrs Moulton took to the kitchen. Children are always very willing to lend a hand in such circumstances and the feeling of community was evident, as holed up in our cosy manor house…we battled the elements…and made snow men!

The boarders also made a trip into Birstol to visit @Bristol. This was a very informative day as we learnt about stars and constellations that can be seen at night, as well as playing with the scientific experiments found throughout the museum and the facts they learnt about endless topics. The boarders enjoyed their lovely day inside considering it was rather nippy on the outside of the heated building. They were accompanied by Mr and

Mrs Green as well as Mr Ellery who very much enjoyed the seating after their long drives. Im sure the best part of the day was spending money in the shop at the end. It seemed impossible for some to choose which pencil or rubber they woiuld buy to out with the rest of their stationary back at school!
