Westwood Sports Day

Thursday June 16th

We were very fortunate in being able to doge some very big showers and were, therefore able to have a very successful afternoon on the upper.  Favourable wind conditions did allow a number of records to be broken.

E. Webster Yr 8 girls 1500m -  5:13.9

I. Leakey Yr 8 girls 100m - 13.28

A Sunday Promenade in the countryside for Westwood Boarders

 

 Leading the way, Mrs M!

After the exertions of examinations, Sports Day and a highly busy and successful Open Morning, some Westwood Boarders headed to Avon Valley Country Park (http://www.avonvalleycountrypark.com) while others were involved in a long rehearsal for the forthcoming production. Our boarders supported ably by a small number of day pupils showed themselves to be articulate and confident individuals showing complete strangers around the House; their pride in the House is clear. There was some dancing from Street Dance activity, a discussion on philosophy put on by Mr Thatcher, delicious cookies baked by Mrs Jenner and some music performed by various Westwood artists for our guests to enjoy.  At Avon Valley Country park pupils enjoyed an assault course, feeding various animals and some pupils even handled a Barn Owl. The slides and climbing frames also proved popular. A gentle and relaxing afternoon out.

 Making new friends!

Match Report of Westwood Crazy Golf Cup

Westwood boarders have diligently revised for the impending examinations. Fortunately having revised for a further two hours this morning, the sun came out when we set off on our trip. The Westwood golfing event was not sanctioned by the R & A or the PGA Tour, but it was fiercely competed at Victoria Falls Golf Club in Bath. En route, we caught glimpses of a traditional band stand with brass band playing a variety of James Bond songs.

 She's done this before as the ball drops!

 Dead-eye accuracy from Lottie as Gabrielle eyes up the next tricky hole.

 Cartoon's fifth shot off the first tee!

 Donald shows how to do it!

 We bumped into Old Kingswoodian Peter who was a boarder in Westwood in 2005-7 and left in 2012. He has just completed a degree at Oxford in German & Linguistics!

 Abi 'Leadbetter' gives pearls of wisdom on the art of putting.

 Charlie gives advice to hole in one expert Henri. Karan and Mr D were in the group behind. Karan had a better back nine, but Mr D came back better.

 Donald's ball in a trap! H. Sunichi also scored a hole in one. Ayvash retorted that the hole in his trousers was better!

Impressive below par scoring from Lottie and Mrs M as shown by the score card. Other hole-in-one achievers were: Mrs M, Keira, Tomiwo and Harry. Two boys (already mentioned above) claim to have scored 48 or below, which is at least six under par;sadly both the R & A and the PGA cannot verify these results! Top afternoon's entertainment had by all in the sunshine!
