Its been a week of much success; of course, we are Talbot's!
Ben.W was awarded a place in the national youth choir which is a huge achievement, especially when put in the context of his not quite making it in last week. The Mo Bros, Ben, Duncan and Harun have been to the fore in teaching lessons and running activities this week. one of these was the Tug of war where the 12 man St Peter's team contained 11 mean of Talbot's and could have had 13 or 14 given how many volunteered. its probably bets we don;t mention the results but it was a great effort. The two Alex's K and S played wonderfully in the lunchtime concert on Wednesday. Harun has also been in the Drama society production of Macbeth.

Karting Trip 2016
We had a great time karting last week in Milton Keynes. The boys raced in groups of 6-8 and in between had the chance to relax, play some Mario kart, cheer on the other racers and indulge in some hot pizza if they wanted. As ever, they all had a great time and it is after events such as these that the boys feel more part of the house and both deepen and grow new friendships.
It was, of course, a competitive event and the most important thing to know is that Mr Gracie came 4th!
He was unfortunately just pipped by George (3rd), Leo (2nd) and Niklas who won in one of the week's fastest times at the venue! The boys were a credit to the house and it was a trip appreciated all round!
There are a few photos below and a video at the bottom. many thanks to Jo in the 4th form who, we think you'll agree, has quite a skill with the camera!
