Despite the lack of lessons, Westwood boarders still had a lot of fun in the snow on Friday - sledging, snowballing and Igloo building. There were chances to bake, too, as well as competitive games of bench-ball and five-aside football. Those who needed warmth also took a dip in the school pool. A number of films have also been enjoyed over the weekend - Spiderman Homecoming and the Duff. Others have watched the opening Six Nations fixtures. Several weekly and casual boarders could not get home..so had to stay a extra night or two, but no one seemed to mind!

Five groups have entered the Boarders' Bake-Off - this year's entries include a popcorn cake (Katya and Eleanor), a pizza cake (Max and Lauren), an ice cream cake (Angel, Lala and Ryan, an Oreo cake (Charlotte and Sophia) and a Noodle cake (Praeasha, Monica, Sarafina & Tsering). Judging takes place today with results next week. The ovens have been much of the last 48 hours and some projects have taken 3-4 hours to complete - impressive concentration and stamina!

As the snow started to melt an amazing army of volunteers from the boarding community helped to shift the snow so school can functon fully tomorrow. The team spirit in the camp has been high, but we are looking forward to 'normal school' tomorrow.
Ivan and Unnav hard at it clearing snow! Thank you, boys!

The esprit de corps on show this weekend has been great to see, but please can we get back to lessons?!!
