Week 5 - Open Morning, Ice Hockey and chilled Sunday

We broke with protocol this weekend by heading out of Westwood on a Saturday night to watch some professional ice hockey in Swindon as we got behind the Swindon Wildcats who were taking on Gillingham's Invicta Dynamos. https://www.swindonwildcats.com/ Before departure we welcomed many potential new families to Westwood on their Open Day tours, sadly in the rain, but our guests were made by friendly faces. Max leaves a friendly message in his dorm.


All the day and boarding pupils were such a credit to the School and particualr thanks to Jacqueline, Eleanor, Angel, Kimberley and Charlotte who kept everyone in good cheer with delicious White Chocolate Chip Cookies - delicious! 

After rugby and hockey matches finished we headed by coach to Swindon. There was a great atmosphere as the Wildcats dominated the match to win 4-0. It was lovely to have the company of few day pupils and our prefects, Johnny and Jasmin.

 In anticipation!


The match lasted three twenty minute thirds and the breaks offered hot dogs, chips and other refreshments.

 Victory sealed - go Wildcats!
We woke on Sunday to glorious sunshine and even hot air balloons in the air. James, Ryan, Monica, Sarafina and Kimberley headed to church with Reverend Hull. The rest of the day meant some time in town for those Year 8 who did not make it yesterday..some of them catching the latest Johnny English film (a sequel to the film the boarders watched two weeks ago!) and some quality down time playing Monopoly, table tennis, rugby and Just Dance on the PS4, as well as more baking.Noelina choose I am Pretty as the weekend movie and this was accompanied by cookies and pizza. 

 Quite contrast to yesterday's foul weather!

 Check out these moves!
 Looking forward to these!
 James, Ivan and Archie enjoyed some table tennis - Mr Duke also had a few matches.

 Still time to clean those school shoes!
Good night from Bath!
