Saturday was a particularly busy day for our boarders, who enthusiastically embraced the full breadth of sports fixtures and competitions. By the afternoon - although fatigued - spirits remained high, fuelled by the excitement of a Year 7 multi-birthday party which was celebrated at All Saints, Weston, Church Hall that evening. Whilst shimmer, style and socialising occupied Year 7s on that fatefully uplifting night, another fate awaited our Year 8s - Movie Night! Herein, our remaining boarders continued to immerse themselves in the epic journey that is the Marvel cinematic universe, enjoying their most recent offering: Spider-Man: Homecoming.
After recovering from this action-adventure masterpiece of film-making, Sunday brought it's usual allure of a trip out of school. This week, we travelled to the festively decorated Swindon Outlet Shopping Centre for the early afternoon; this was to become an Oasis water-park adventure later that afternoon. Kitted out and ready for a road trip, the journey to Swindon commenced!

And upon arriving at the Swindon Outlet Shopping Centre...
 |
| "All I did was touch the tree; look what happened?!" |
 |
| "All aboard the Polar Express!" |
From the Outlet Centre we traversed a small distance to an Oasis of swim-filled fun and adventure!

| Our new magical house Unicorn - Jeffuma Rainbowpatch - was born at 13:52 p.m. on the 19th November 2017 at the Swindon Outlet Shopping Centre. Mr. Duke warmly welcomes this new addition to the Westwood boarding team! |
Our boarders look forward to another busy but hopefully fulfilling week, which will include a special Thanksgiving celebration meal on Thursday! Mr. Duke looks forward to hosting and Mr. Thatcher may make an unscheduled appearance, in support of the logistical cause, of course...
