Summerhill run the Race for Life

Today was the annual Race for Life which was held in the Royal Victoria Park.

Again there was an amazing turn out from the Summerhill girls.  We all entered the 5k race which started at 11am.

Dave set us up for the day with bacon and egg sandwiches which we had before we left.  We met up with Mrs Morris and walked down to the start line for 10:15am where we caught up with the day girls who were running.

Lizzie and Ellie came joint second in the whole race!

I think I was the last person from Kingswood to cross the line - doing my duty to ensure there were no stragglers (except me!).

I huge thank you to those Summerhill girls who took part:

Lara, Numa, India, Abi, Ellie B, Cherry, Viky, Bella, Lizzie, Jessie, Sophie, Kate, Chloe, Sarah Y, Helen, Lottie, Emily, Selene, Emma and Hannah.

It's so good to have people willingly give up their time to do something different and enjoy it even though it rained a little bit.

Thank you girls.  You are indeed, awesome!

Chili & chips & football

Tonight was the first England game of the European cup.

We had open house and invited all the other boarders around to Summerhill for Chili & Chips and Football.

Dave cooked an amazing Chili which we had with chips, cheese, salsa and sour cream,  Most of the girls from School House joined us and some of the boys too.

We had 3 native Russians with us who were very pleased with the very late, very fluky, very last minute equalizer scored by Russia.











Music and Drama awards preparation

Tonight was the first night of a new routine of celebrating Music and Drama in the school.  Last year was KAT - Kingswood Artistically Talented awards.  This included awards in Music, Drama, DT and Art.  This year as the school has grown so have the number of people doing these subjects.  It was felt more appropriate to split the subjects into Music &Drama and DT & Art.

The girls in the House got ready in Summerhill and had their photo's taken before they went.  Although it looks like all 5 Year 11s were going, Lottie and India decided to dress up as well as they felt they were missing out.

The girls returned at 10:30pm having had a really good time.
