They enjoyed some coca colas and pizza outside on the Front Field - which was especially nice due to the amazing weather we have been experiencing lately!
They will be sadly missed and we all wish them the very best at their new schools.

Year 8 boys last ever All Hallows' treat!
Monday night was both a very exciting and very sad night for the Year 8 boys as it was their last ever treat night at All Hallows before they leave for the end of the school year next week.
They enjoyed some coca colas and pizza outside on the Front Field - which was especially nice due to the amazing weather we have been experiencing lately!
They will be sadly missed and we all wish them the very best at their new schools.

Last Disco of the school year
Last Wednesday's boarders activity night was one of the famous All Hallows' discos! The last one for this long summer term was always going to be a good one - especially with the many flexi boarders that were in that night - but it became even better when the venue changed from St Bede's, to the drama theatre.
The windows in the theatre were covered, disco lights were put up along the sides on the walls, and DJ Wheatley set up his DJ booth right at the front of the stage - making this the most authentic-looking disco so far!
With many popular tunes such as 'Timber' by Kesha and 'Let it Go' from the Disney movie Frozen, the dancing was absolutely amazing. All boarders joined in, even making a conga line that travelled around the decked-out theatre for a couple of the songs. We also saw some break-dancing from some of the boys, as well as some gymnastic skills from two of the Russian boarders - Arina (Year 4) and Tasia (Year 6).
Again many thanks to Mr Opie and Mr Callow for the retro lighting and organisation of the disco - hopefully we will be able to have many more like this in the new school year!

Rock Climbing Adventures
Last Sunday's activity was something a little different to usual - something the boarders hadn't yet done this school year.
Rock-climbing!
Nonetheless, the majority loved this new activity and some managed to reach amazing heights - I have no idea how they managed to climb so high!
The rock-climbing activity was accompanied by Mr Somerville and Mr Radford, along with his two year old daughter, Autumn. After having a delicious roast lunch, the kids were rearing to go. All the children were strapped securely into a harness before they started and were explained the safety rules.
Surprisingly, some of the younger kids had the best success with the rock-climbing wall - Autumn (although only aged two), managed to climb halfway up the massive wall. Nico (Year 5) was also one of the better climbers - he made it all the way to the top, and did not look unlike a mini Spiderman!
Other excellent climbers included Issy Perales (Year 7), Archie Botsford (Year 6) and Charlie Hannah (reception) - strangely it seemed the younger children had more success, perhaps because they had less fear about the consequences of falling!
Overall it was a lovely day out - beautiful sunny weather once again - and the boarders seemed to really enjoy doing this activity.
