Following our boarders' assimilation to the new term, we celebrated the triumph of reaching the weekend! Following some Saturday morning Monopoly for some boarders (others were developing their endurance on sports pitches and courts!), an afternoon trek into town brought the return of replenished tuck and company well kept. The evening's movie entertainment proved a popular choice: A dystopian, sci-fi romance entitled 'The Darkest Minds':
Sunday took our boarders from dystopia to the land of imagination and adventure, with an afternoon trip to The Theatre Royal in Bath. Here, we were treated to the spectacular showcase of a Peter Pan pantomime, which comprised witty script-writing, impressive sets, plenty of adapted, contemporary music and glitterballs galore - J.M Barrie I'm sure would've been proud ("Oh no he wouldn't!"...). Boarders and staff enjoyed it immensely. It was the final day of showings and we were all grateful for the opportunity to attend. Although photo-taking opportunities were very limited, some images from the pantomime feature below; we hope you can get a small flavour of what we enjoyed.

So as this week draws to a close, we look ahead to the challenges that face us in week two. With the prospect of a Zumba workshop to work towards this weekend, I'm sure that boarders will be suitably galvanised to give their best and enjoy the fruits of doing so. We look forward to updating you as the days progress; we continue to invite you to enjoy our Twitter feed which provides further insight into daily life as a Westwood boarder. Until next time...
