Friday Celebration 20/5/16

With the well earned half term looming and as time marches towards the end of yet another academic year, it reminds us how precious our time is.  Before we know it we will be saying goodbye to our Upper 6, it's a big transition for them and we look on it as happy time tinged with sadness. It's makes us realise that we should make the most of our time at our great School but look forward to all the new exciting things we have ahead of us.

The highlight of the week was wakeboarding at Box End Park.  The rain couldn't dampen spirits and Charlie.H, John.H, Alex.S, Simon.C, Harun.C, Andrew.W, Dom.K and Ben.W were joined by a few boy's from Sanderson's House.  They all started out on knee boards to get a feel for the water, speed and find their balance.  Then they all moved on to training boards which are designed to help with stability.  After this they progressed on to professional wakeboards and the boys could show off the skill's they had learnt.  The icing on the cake was they were given the opportunity to have a go at body surfing and a brave few gave it a go.
