Friday Celebration 10/10/14

This week began with a house trip on Monday evening to Daytona go karting in MK . Fun was had by all even though the day had been a wet one. Thankfully it dried up for the evening and the races began. Sasha's post about it is coming imminently!

On Tuesdya we then hosted St Peter's for barbecue and a game of football to celebrate our sports day victory and general awesome start to the term. The football was closely contested with the boarders overturning a 4-1 deficit to go 5-4 ahead until a late day boy goal snatched a 5-5 victory.

House singing rehearsals are in full swing and we have been joined by Sean, our conductor for the week in the boarding house it has been great to have you here Sean.

Our talented actor Teepee has wowed the audiences as Othello in the theatre this week. The juniors went to see him on Thursday evening-a very impressive play, well done Teepee. This was followed by a small after party with cocktails (non alcoholic of course!) professionally made by Ben, John and Charlie. 

Tomorrow the fixtures for the senior boys are as follows-Rufus is playing for the 1sts. Jack for the 2nds, Charlie, Michael, John and Justus for the third team. For the 4ths Ed is playing and for the 5ths James.
