Baking, matches, and Wookey Hole

Whilst a good number of Westwood boarders were involved in hockey (Nina, Noelina, Sudipti, Sophie, Olivia, Rachel, Connie, Yuma and Ishikia) and rugby matches (Kenneth, William, Thomas, Vic and Perry), the remainder of the Westwood Squad embarked on Millionaire Shortbread. Ryan, Hohona, Surichi, Angel, Ayomikun, Dawn, Preasha, Monica and, Sarafina  made delicious shortbread, coated it with gooey toffee and topped it with melted chocolate; it tasted GOOOOD!  We all enjoyed a slice last night with pizza whilst watching Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in the company of our prefects, Dominic and Ema.

After some games of basketball, indoor football and badminton we all enjoyed brunch before departing by coach. High Vinnalls boarders joined our trip to the spooky caves of Wookey Hole. It is great to build links with the younger boarders. We had to keep our heads low as the roof of the cave was very low in places and we even needed to wear hard hats!

 

  Are they real?

 Where's the famed Wookey Hole Witch?

 Cheddar cheese being matured in the caves!

 Can you see any bats?

A good number of boarders enjoyed an ice cream in September sunshine once above ground.

Each Sunday evening we hold a meeting to discuss the week and it is great to hear the pupils reflecting on the enjoyment of boarding life. They also get to raise concerns and we follow these up!

Just before lights out tonight, Callum returned to Westwood, having come second in his go-karting competition. He drives at speeds of 70 MPH!!

Hope you are well wherever you are reading the blog!  Another top weekend in Westwood!
