Charity fund raising for Papyrus

Last week, Ellie Brearey and her friends gave an assembly on a charity called Papyrus.  Its aim is to help young people and their families with the hope of preventing young suicide.  Ellie gave a very moving introduction about how her family had been through the pain of losing someone to suicide.

Ellie will be doing a sponsored silence on Friday 10th May with her friends.  Summerhill will be supporting her by bagging up 1p sweets this weekend ready to sell next Thursday and Friday.

 

These sweets smell so good in my office

The kittens have arrived

The kittens arrived on the last day of term - Friday 27th March.  They are now 5 weeks old and are very cute.  We have not named any of them as we will not be keeping them.

Home made pavlova

It seems in our house that Pavlova goes hand in hand with Carbonara.  The egg yolks go in the Carbonara and the whites are available for making meringues.  I had intended to have pudding yesterday but we were all too full so put the pavlova on hold until tonight.  After our boarders meeting we came back to the house and I constructed the pudding.  It went down very well - and very quickly.  As my cutting skills were not brilliant, a few people ended up with Eaton Mess.  :)

So the construction begins

Look at the concentration

 

Senior House Matches - Netball

Thursday 19th March was the Senior House Matches competition.  Each house had an A and B team.  The As played the As and the Bs played the Bs.  Summerhill came second.  I'll try and get more details to add to this report later.

Massive 'thank you' to Jess who was the official photographer.
