House Christmas Dinner 2016
We've received some great photos from the house Christmas Dinner that we thought are worth sharing whilst you are all still in Christmas mode.
Special thanks to Joseph for taking the house camera up to the dinner and Ms Ranner for photos at the party.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
What a whirlwind of a term!! This year has flown by so far, and it only seems like yesterday we were welcoming 17 new members to the house, and yet here we are saying goodbye for the Christmas holidays.
We've packed so much into the last four months and we hope you'll enjoy this short summary:
That's all from us for this year, we look forward to seeing you all again in 2017 - have a great Christmas and a fantastic New Year.
Love all of us at Talbots

Friday Celebration 9/12/16
This week is just about the hardest in the whole year. We have the tiredness of being at the end of the longest term but none of the fun Christmas events to break things up and school activities still in full swing.
In merits this week the following were earned:
1: Edwin, Dan.s, igor, John, Adrian, frank, George, Alex.S
It is true to form for this remarkable group in the house that, whilst the rest of the school seem to be on their knees, are upping their game with record hauls of merits, practices for the house play and some amazing helpful actions happening.
The 4ths and Removes have earned themselves a pizza night for averaging at least 3 merits each in a week and the 5th form were only 2 away!
In Water Polo this week, Igor and Sasha.K played in an ever improving U18 team whilst Harun, Simon and John.C were part of the squad for the Basketball U18 fixture. Henry.T acquitted himself excellently in the U14 house matches too.
Academically, we have seen our second commendation from Ben.W to go with the one earned by Jo last week.
The 5th team played on the first team Rugby pitch this week too and John, Frank, leo, Matthew and Sasha.P were involved in the 12-12 draw with Oundle.
In teams for the final games of this term are:
U14B - Henry,
U15: A: Andrew, B: Dan.R, C: Brady, D: Ruslan, Arron and Alikhan.Y
1st: Kighty and George, 4th: Alex.S
In merits this week the following were earned:
1: Edwin, Dan.s, igor, John, Adrian, frank, George, Alex.S
2: Jo, Richard, Anthony, harun
3:David, Brady, Arron
4: Ruslan, Kostya, Alikhan.Y, Henry.N
5: Divine, Curtis, Luca, Niklas
6: lennart
9: Jason!
Top Bloke is:
Man of the week is Arron, who not only took a lead role in the play but has been working so hard this term that one of his teachers was compelled to spend a lunxhtime with MRG eulogising about how awesome he is!

Amazing events including live feed for St Cecilia's
Wow! It is going to be an amazing few days for the men of Talbot's; busy, but amazing!
Today is going to be manic with the following things happening: Curtis is singing in the lunchtime concert and then Arthur, Lennart, Dan and Luca have their GCSE Drama devised pieces. In the evening there is the Gilbert Lloyd Art lecture at the same time as the amazingly brilliant St Cecilia's concert. The live stream video is below where you will be able to see Jason, Adrian, Stephen, Alex.S, Ben.W and Alvin in action.
Tomorrow the whole Rugby Club is heading to Allianz park to watch the 1st XV, including George and Kighty, play in the champions trophy national final. You can watch see a preview for that here:http://www.fifteenrugby.com/champions-trophy-final-bedford-v-tonbridge-preview/ and watch it on the live feed which school will be promoting via social media.
Of course, Saturday then also sees fixture for 5 teams in the seniors and four teams in each of the junior age groups too (team news on Friday night), so all boys should be busy and active in a number of ways.
This is just a normal week in the life of a man of Talbot's of course but it is a great snapshot, we think, of all the opportunities available to them.
