Friday Celebration 07/09/18
Well...!
We've only been back 3 days, but so much has happened already. We started off with New Boys' Day on Tuesday, in which the Upper Sixth were superb!
The ten newest members of Talbot's have added much and therefore had many 'firsts' such as lessons, games sessions, extra activities and nights in the house! On Wednesday, we had the first Sports Hall visit of the term, which was played in great spirit (see pictures below), and was an early chance to show some skills. To be fair, Stephen was probably Man of the Match with his silky footwork, but Aslan impressed in particular with his remarkable bravery as he took a peppering in goal!
The Lower Sixth have started their first duties supervising prep time and stepping up to new leadership challenges. Saturday sees trial matches for the Fourth Form so those lads have a week to wait for any school sports debuts. House Singing also begins in earnest next week and promises to bring us unity as we compete with everyone else.
In Merits this Week
1: Jason, Richard, Moritz, Curtis, Evgenii, Igor, Oscar
2: Simon
3: Brady, who is King of Merits and also graduated from the NCS course he undertook over the summer.
In Sports this Week
U15: Alex continues in the A Team having been a part of the festival sinning side that didn't concede a try last weekend.
U16: Divine is in the B's and is joined by a pair of vice-captains with Will in the A's and Henry in the B's.
The story of the week, however, is in the 5th XV where 6 men of Talbot's will be donning the eagle of our favourite team: Simon, Alikhan, Evgenii, Igor, Brady, and Moritz are those men. You know that when a third of the squad are Talbot's legends, there is going to be a great show!
Top Bloke
Jointly awarded by Igor and the Upper Sixth to Bertie and Leo, who have already impressed by getting stuck in and helping with house sports stuff this week.
Man of the Week
Moritz deserves a really special mention for being awarded the house's first commendation of the year for being fantastically helpful on the Berlin trip. This, along with his amazing support to his new roommate in the house, makes him our deserved Man of the Week.
