This week the design and technology club have been working on the shape and design of the balloon. Next week they will be making the real balloon and hopefully, the following week it will be the first flight!

After a busy couple of weeks in the Boarding school, we are now organising the end of year activities and Christmas festivities. Within the Junior and Mini house, the students have been very busy with Mylene and Stephanie in the evenings making pumpkin halloween cakes, decorating, playing games and continuing their music lessons, and that's just in one evening! All the children enjoy their time and hopefully, are very tired at lights out!

This Friday evening, the younger students will have a Christmas themed evening with biscuits, music and decorations being made for their house. The older students will be playing our version of Money Drop, of course with a few sweets instead of money!

With the Christmas holidays just around the corner, we are preparing for all the festivities, including the Christmas party for the students. Some of our Senior girls have already started their Christmas shopping and decorating their rooms. It is nice to see that the girls have made an effort and take the Christmas festivities so seriously. The boys will be starting soon although unless Christmas falls at the same time as the UEFA cup, their enthusiasm may not match that of the girls!
