With U12 A, B and C and U13 A, B and C rugby matches against Bristol Grammar School yesterday morning the vast majority of the boys were out taking part. Vic and Kenneth scored on their debuts for the school; all the U12 teams won and Wilfrid was praised for his tackling by the other boys. The U13 teams had tougher fixtures, but Sunichi, Karan, Dario, Nino and Tae-Tae came back with smiles despite the losses! We had day pupil, Rufus, boarding with us and he too was involved in the rugby and many matches of table tennis and pool this weekend. Elouise and Rachel both enjoyed playing hockey for the U13B and U12B teams respectively and both teams recorded great wins ! Our prefects yesterday were Anan (a former WW boarder) and Neve who did a great job getting the pupils around town. All the pupils and Mrs Mainwaring had a very successful shopping trips. The Just Dance game on the Wii was very popular!
After some football, basketball and brunch we headed to Bristol Zoo and the weather remained kind. We saw an amazing rainbow on the way to Bristol. The pupils enjoyed seeing the mammals, reptiles, birds and fish on view. There was a talk about Raccoons and their skills at stealing laundry to keep them warm in the winter. Mink and Polina took to the high ropes under the watchful eye of Rose, Mrs Mainwaring and Mr Duke; other pupils devoured ice cream. Tonight our very helpful prefects were Archie and Izzy. Some pupils went swimming after quiet hour.

Mrs Mainwaring and Mr Duke have really enjoyed the company of all the Westwood boarders this weekend. The atmosphere in the House is fantastic and the pupils are getting on with each other very well! We are privileged to live here!
