Gratitude for Talbot's
We surveyed all the boys in the house to say 1 thing they are grateful for and this has been turned into a poster for the house where the most said phrases appear larger. We think it reflects a house in a healthy place and that this has highlighted loads of the amazing things about being a man of Talbot's. Take a look:

Friday Celebration 12/10/18
Lots has happened this week, especially in the field of music. There has been a choir trip and lots of hard practice for house singing. This included our first rehearsal in the great hall with Mr Sanders watching. The musical highlight was the lunchtime concert where the part song performed and included Ben, James, Tizian and Arron's first ever public singing performance at school. Ben also sang a great piece from 'The Messiah' and Leo matched Arron with a wonderful first upper school singing performance.
Richard was one of the most successful players in the 1st team table tennis game this week. Nathan and Divine played well for the U16 basketball side. Last weekend Seb also raced at the national school ski championships.
Edwin also went to his LNAT test in Cambridge - inspirational stuff.

Friday Celebration 05/10/18
It's been a really busy week with lots of great opportunities for boys to try new things or give their best in their commitments.
In music, James and Marcus performed well in the lunchtime piano concert. Plenty of lads also went to the Gilbert Lloyd lecture and Quarry Theater play Ion Thursday.
In sport, the might 5ths came close to a ridiculous 3rd win of the season with Brady and Moritz really putting their bodies on the line and Simon getting stuck in for the 4ths. Divine also continued to electrify the U16B wing against Flested. Will, Henry, and Max have had busy weeks playing for the U16 and U14A teams on both Tuesday and Friday--a very busy week overall!
In basketball, Divine and Nathan played well for the U16 win and Igor held the water polo team to a comfortable victory.
There was amazing house commitment shown by Roy, Alex, Edwin, and Tizian who also turned up last minute to perform very creditably in house debating.
This weekend Desmond makes his 2nd 1st team badminton appearance and is joined by Nathan.
In the 5ths we have Simon, Roy in the U15D. Bertie received the biggest cheer of the week for his promotion to the U14E team!
This was also the first Friday celebration since our incredible 6th consecutive sports day win too--to say we have been gloating would be, well, accurate!
