Sports Day 2016

Thursday 7th July

We were exceptionally lucky with the weather and managed to have the whole of sports day with only a small amount of rain near the end.  Summerhill did really well.  I was exceptionally proud of all the girls but especially those who participated when sport really isn't their thing.  Lizzie White broke three records, 800m, 1500m and shot.  Sarah Saunders also broke a record (I need to check the details before I say which one!).

Overall, We came third in the seniors, first in the Inters and second in the Juniors.  But when the overall scores were looked at and combined with the boys houses, Middle and Summerhill won overall. Yay!

 

Year 8 moving on day

Wednesday 6th July

The Year 8s from Westwood who are moving to Summerhill came to have a look around the house and be introduced to some of the staff and other girls.  We supplied ice cream with Haribos, marshmallows and chocolate buttons.  As an activity we made shrinky-dinks (don't mock until you've tried it!).  Thank you to the sixth form who turned up to help.

Year 9s and 10s have breakfast in House

On Tuesday 21st June, Mrs Opie and Mrs Brown brought their tutors groups together to have breakfast in House.  As always, it was a really nice start to the day - just to do something different.



 

Boarders trip to Cotswold Water Park

This Sunday, the boarders were offered a trip to the Cotswold Water Park.  Several of the girls from Summerhill went.

They Water Zorbing (running around the surface of the water in a huge ball) and Paddle Boarding.

The weather was unusually nice.
