As our boarders quietly anticipate the opportunity to rest and recuperate over the forthcoming half-term, another opportunity-filled weekend greeted them. Competitive and physically challenging sports fixtures on Saturday morning/afternoon were counter balanced with opportunities to bake and decorate Halloween (albeit a little premature) themed delights in-house:
| Carefully decorated Halloween cupcakes! |
| The corridor is due for a dusting... |
Baking and decorating was followed by a relaxed, public transport driven trip to town, where boarders replenished tuck supplies and took time out to be. This evening continued to mellow the spirits with pizza, cupcakes and our movie: Midnight Sun.
It seemed fitting - after the emotional highs and lows of the movie - that Sunday brought with it the chance to light up an rainy day with a Trampolining session in Bath. Our boarders walked into town, guided by Mr. Thatcher and the luminescent Mrs.Curtis, enjoying some time together crafting all manner of moves and mayhem on the trampolines!
| A variety of trampolining challenges to conquer! |
| An expanse of trampolining fun! |
| Kim smiles for the camera before taking the plunge, with Charlotte looking on. |
This final week will inevitably bring a degree of fatigue as the boarders navigate the challenges which will take them to the break. Nevertheless, they can reflect on a very positive first half of term. The Westwood Staff have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with the boarders and we have been privileged to share some lovely experiences together.
We would like to thank all of you
currently following us on Twitter (@kws_Westwood); your ongoing support is warmly
appreciated and we hope you are enjoying the updates on what life is like for a Westwood
boarder. Finally, we wish all of our readers well and hope that half-term is a time of rest and renewal for you all. We look forward to sharing more with you after the half-term holidays.
