Westwood's final weekend in Advent

We continued our building-up for Christmas theme in Westwood with Gingerbread cookies baking on Saturday morning. Charlotte, Jacqueline, Kimberley, Monica, Sarah, Sarafina and Supriya made over 100 biscuits and decorated a good number of them! These yummy Christmas biscuits were enjoyed by the whole house whilst they watched 'Mean Girls' chosen by Noelina and Praeasha; the film also carried the seasonal theme and the romantic ending seened to get some viewers rather excited!

 Flour, golden syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, ginger and an egg per team!

 Monica adding just enough spice!

 Sarafina nearly ready to use the seasonal cutters!

 It's all a bit gooey!

 Finished products!

 More to decorate!

Jacqueline proved to be very artistic!

We set off for Swindon Outlet https://www.mcarthurglen.com/en/outlets/uk/designer-outlet-swindon/#/ at 10:30 for our Christmas Shopping Trip. Within four hours many shops had been visited and the boarders seemed chuffed with their purchases. The outlet is built in what was formerly a Great Western railway work and there is a STEAM museum adjacent to it. The had even decorated the display train and there was also a chance for a group sleigh photo!

 Brass band performances of Christmas Carols are very traditional in the UK.

 Where's Santa?

 See you in 2019!

It's been a great weekend and we wish all our boarders and you a very Happy Christmas and all the best for 2019!
