Talbot's House

Friday Celebration 13/11/15

Last weekend we were celebrating the amazing efforts of Ben, Tizian and Samuel in the choir's trip to sing at the royal Albert hall. If you haven't seen it yet, they come on after about one hour and twenty minutes in the programme which you can find on iplayer HERE.

This week has also seen the main school production for the term; Journey's End. See our other blog post for the inputs of Lennart, John, Benno and Danny to this.

The weeks fly by when you're busy and having fun. this week has seen the house wine, made from the grapes in our orchard, get bottled up in demijohns to finish fermenting until it is ready early next year. Benno, Harun, Duncan and Luke have been to the fore in this.

Luke also represented the school in the senior team Maths challenge; quite an achievement.

This week saw the culmination of the marathon event that is the house fives. St Peter's fought hard to claim overall victory by one point, gaining some valuable house points in the process. This is a great joint house team effort but Nihat and Dom.K have featured heavily throughout so well done them.

In Rugby matches against Radley this weekend, the following are playing:

U14: Brady continues to be the rock in this season's successful D team while Dan.R will boss things from 9 in the B's
U15: Dan.S is a cornerstone for the D team whilst Lennart looks to make an impact in the Cs and Leon will try to overturn last year's A team loss to Radley
U16: The D team have our most representatives this week with J.Lo, Adrian, Samuel and Big Frank in the side, the C team includes Dom, the B's call on George and Sasha.P in the pack and George.S looks for tries in the A team.
In the seniors, Kighty and Charlie will hope for performances that may allow them to push for places in the 1st team squad in time for the national final while John captains the unbeaten 3rd XV which includes Ed at centre. The 4th team still has Nihat and Alex in it for some reason (wake up Mr Huddlestone) and Matthew 'the Rugby legend' plays for the fifths alongside Duncan.

In merits this week, the following have been awarded:
1:Dan, Adrian, Frank, Luke, Dom, Ben.M, Benno
2: Igor, Henry, Duncan, Hodges
3:Tizian, Samuel
8 and king of merits by miles is Harun!

There are two rooms of the week this week which are: Henderson and 17 well done to Jonny, Sasha.P, George.C, Dom.B, Samuel and Adrian.


Top bloke is Sasha.K for organising the house competitions and fetching the new playstation!

Man of the week is John for his incredible set which demonstrates all of the house values amazingly!
