All Hallows movie night!

Last night we set up our All Hallows Cinema! St Bedes was set up for some fun Monsters University for our under twelves, while our older kids headed to Junior common room for a bit of The Internship. A nice relaxed evening with tuck and everyone laughing together! Not long now until Christmas! Who's counting down the days? Our boarders sure are excited to get home now :)

Party time!

Last week we had one of our very popular boarders disco's! the outfits were decided, the room was set up, Dj Wheatley at the ready and tuck in hand! All the children came running to the sound of music in St Bedes. Lots of dance moves, some from Mr Callow who has been hiding his dancing abilities from us. Everyone was moving and shaking which was great to see. One direction seemed to be popular once again as the singing didnt stop. A great night for all!

Open Mike Night and painting shirts!

Wednesday night we held our second open mike night. Some dorms had prepared their performances beforehand, whilst others got into the groove of things half way through the night. The year eight girls dressed the year eight boys, so we ended up with alot of year eight 'girls'. With some songs sung, Waka Waka, call me maybe, lighters, we were also treated to some special performances from Mr Callow and Mr Opie singing Barbie Girl. And from Mr Wheatley singing What makes you beautiful by the infamous One Direction, lots of screaming girls at All Hallows! We all enjoyed our rather loud evening and hope another mike night is on soon!

Today the boarders had a nice and relaxed Sunday, with free time around the house before a roast lunch. After lunch there was t-shirt painting. No photos yet but we should have some soon of the finished product! 

 

 

 

First week back

So we managed to get through our first week back after half term. Our boarders had a movie night on Wednesday. With tuck and Night at the Museum 2, they were all settled into St Bedes. Sunday had us all catching a coach off to Bath for a couple of hours shopping. Accompanied by Mr and Mrs Green, Miss Phippard and Miss Mewburn, all the boarders were off to buy their Christmas goodies. Presents were bought for parents, so some of you will get some nice gifts, whilst the rest of the kids bought sweets of course! It was lovely weather for our afternoon out then we were back at schoool for hot chocolate and biscuits!

Welcome back!

Welcome back all boarders, parents and relatives! Hope you are all well after half term, and that you survived the storms, wind and rain! On sunday we had a few of our boarders return to us so with a nice chilled out evening we watched a film, drank hot chocolate and were treated to some tuck. I hope you are all looking forward to our christmas updates as the snowy season is fast approaching!
