Thursday night fun!

This year, we have introduced Theme Night Thursdays into the boarding house. Each Thursday evening, we will have a different 'theme' to which the children can dress up and have a blast! Last night, we started off our Thursday night fun with an evening walk up to the quarry. Rugged up in our warm clothes, we set off through the countryside as the sunlight slowly disappeared, dodging sheep, cows and all kinds of creepy crawlies. A torch-lit walk through the fields led us back to the All Hallow's dining room for a delicious hot chocolate and some laughs before it was time to head off to bed.

Welcome Back!

Welcome back to one and all! We've had a busy and bubbly start to the new school year this weekend. Mr Sun decided to make a special appearance for us all as we enjoyed a bounce (or two...hundred) on the bouncy castle, target shooting in archery, and of course the ever popular swim sesh with Lifeguard Callow! Thoughts of home were forgotton (sorry Mum and Dad) as laughter rang from every direction and smiles covered little faces. A delightful start to what I am sure will be a year to remember!

Watch out below!

Cheddar Gorge and a water fight under the sun!

A sunny start to the day began with the children running around on the Library Lawn. One thing led to the next and suddenly we had a full scale waterfight on our hands. Both squeals of laughter and surprise filled the air as year groups, friends, brothers and sisters turned on each other (demonstrated by the Spindler's below). A warm shower and some dry clothes later, all headed off to Cheddar Gorge for some afternoon fun of rock climbing, caving, mini-golf and sweets! Whilst the older children scaled the rocky walls of Cheddar Gorge, the younger lot headed underground for an amazing caving experience. A visit to the sweet shop finished the trip on a high and we all headed home for a good night's sleep. 

Stourhead

A walk through the beautiful gardens of Stourhead on a fairly sunny English day led to many smiling faces and cheeky giggles on this trip. After a walk around the park and many flower collections later, there were homemade ice-creams all 'round in the courtyard. With the help of Mr Garcia's camera, many 'bobble head' photos were taken to finish off the trip with a laugh!
