Westwood Climbing Trip and so much more!

Captain of Boarding, William writes:

Westwood boarders went to ‘Red Point Climbing’, which is in Bristol for their Sunday trip. We had an hour's climbing with three instructors; they were very nice. Sasha and Kenneth were quite good at climbing while others tried their very best. Most people enjoyed this activity very much. There are more than 10 climbing walls and everyone had a chance to try them all.  After climbing everyone was exhausted and many of them slept on the coach. It was such a wonderful weekend.

The house enjoyed Wonder Woman last night and a good number of the girls were involved in netball matches against arch-rivals, KES, yesterday. It has been a lovely weekend and the instructor at the Climbing Centre commented quite spontaneously on how lovely the children were and how supportive they were of each other overcoming fears.
