Saturday board games in Summerhill

This Saturday, the Year 10 GCSE drama group were performing a Murder Mystery to raise funds for the Prep School.  My daughter was performing so I was lucky enough that Mrs Dudley-Warde (our Marketing Manager) said she would come and cover my duty so I could watch her.  Mrs Dudley-Warde has lots of contact with the overseas students and their families so thought it would be a really good opportunity to catch up with them all informally.

The girls in Summerhill had an excellent time playing board games. We had some visitors from other houses who joined us too.  We started off organising all the snacks that Mrs Dudley-Warde had brought.  They got together at 7pm and talked through the first of the games - Scattergories.  I have it on good authority that Medha won.  Everyone really really enjoyed this game - it made everyone laugh.

Then - Bananagrams.  Rachana won this, four times.  Lottie and Lizzie also won it once.  Lizzie was very excited about this.

A few people at the end played Consequences as others drifted off to chat.

A massive thank you to Mrs Dudley-Warde for her efforts.  The boys said they would definitely come back if it were offered again.  Lottie said she was 'wonderful'.
