House Music Fever grips Westwood!

The weather on Saturday sadly put pay to all sports matches for Westwood pupils. Some pupils baked some delicious fairy cakes with Mrs Mainwaring and Rose whilst some headed for basketball and table tennis with Mr Duke.  Oscar, Sunichi and Johnny have certainly improved these skills since arriving in Westwood. The film last night was Pixel and the homemade cakes were enjoyed then. 



Today has been focused on each of the four houses practising their respective songs for the House Music Competition. Beckford is singing  Classic' by MKTO; Hamilton is singing 'Shake It Off' by Taylor Swift ; Cusworth has chosen 'Dancing in the Moonlight' by Toploader and Posnett the Bon Jovi classic 'Living on a Prayer'. The prefects have been working hard on carefully choreographed routines and shown great patience and levels of enthusiasm.  Tomorrow's competition will be judged independently by our wonderful three foreign language assistants as has been the tradition for as long as can be remembered.

The winning team will be presented with the coveted 'Westwood Bowl' given as a gift by a former Music teacher and Westwood stalwart, Mrs Monks. Watch this space for news on the winning house!

Tonight the whole boarding community came together to feedback on issues pertaining to boarders' trips, school food, sports activities etc. There was also a celebration of the Chinese New Year. The results of the recent Boarders' Bake Off were also announced and we all enjoyed short video clips from each house. The Westwood film was put together expertly by Polina. The Westwood Bake Off runner-up was Natalie and the Baking Queen was Ayooluwa. You will spot that Mr Chua and Mr Harding also performed Don McLean's classic, American Pie.
