Talbot's House

Start of Term 2016

WOW! What a whirlwind. The start of term is always full of life and excitement and this year is no exception. It is very hard to come to terms with the fact our 17 new boys only joined us yesterday morning; it feels a lifetime ago.

The boys were quickly inducted with an amazing lunch from the very talented Mrs Sterling and the normal induction routines. This was followed by a visit to town and then year group socials with cakes and hot chocolate in Mr and Mrs G's house. The sixth form were also able to have a beer with their food later on.

The house meeting on the first night was full of the excitement of the start of term and it was hard to distinguish already who was new and who has been here forever such was the excellent welcome given to the new guys. The normal 'name everyone in the room' game brought much hilarity; someone will get them all right soon! Boys also had a chance to get to know everyone in their tutor group with some questionable feedback from the current sixth form!

Today saw the start of school and a million meetings to get ready; in between that the pool table, playstation and table tennis table have seen plenty of action. The highlight of Wednesday's this year will be the sports hall and the guys had a great evening with lots of people getting stuck in.

There are a few photos below from the first couple of days with plenty more to come in the coming days, especially if you follow the house on twitter or instagram (@talbotshosue for both).

Thursday night is our first fire night of the term and then Friday is our first celebration night so there is plenty more going on!
