Ema's 16th birthday

Tuesday 15th November was Ema's birthday.  Fortunately there was time to make her cake which we ate with her after prep.  Of course, there was the obligatory singing.

Lara's 16th birthday

Today was Lara's 16th birthday.  She was very lucky as I had time to come home between lessons and bake a cake, and defrost another one.
We all sang to her and enjoyed cake!

Saturday Supper in House

Tonight we managed to get ourselves organised enough to cook supper in House.  Dave and I thought a pork, roast dinner was a good way to start. We made roast pork (and chicken for those who didn't like pork), roast potatoes, cabbage, sweetcorn, crackling and gravy.  It took us slightly longer to cook everything than we thought so the girls were quite hungry by the time we ate.  A lot of food was consumed - but it was excellent.

A huge thank you to Dave for all his efforts.

Lizzie's 16th Birthday

We celebrated Lizzie's 16th birthday last night.  Her birthday was actually on Monday night but Lizzie was out at Hockey activity, not returning to the House until after 9.30pm.  So we had cake and sang last night.  Photo's below:

Christy's 18th birthday

Last Thursday was Christy's birthday.  She had been out all weekend with her parents who had come over the UK to help her celebrate.  So tonight was the first time we had had a chance to help her celebrate.

As tradition goes, we sang Happy Birthday and ate cake.

 

House Hockey matches

This Saturday the girls played hockey matches against the other girls houses.  First up was School v Fonthill.  It was a 0-0 draw but very evenly matched.  Next was Summerhill v School.  This time, although the score was 0-0 Summerhill had so many changes it was hard to believe they didn't score.  All due respect though to School House defense.  Last game, Summerhill v Fonthill.  We went 1-0 up but unfortunately it finished 1-3.  

So, Fonthill were the winners with Summerhill second and School last.  It was a really good event though and thoroughly enjoyed by all those who took part or watched.
