Week 9: From Superleagues to Sunday Climbing

Another busy week for the Westwood boarders has come to a close. On Friday evening the boarders enjoyed an additional evening trip to see Team Bath Netball play at home against the Strathclyde Sirens in the National Superleague, with the home side emerging victorious 51-47. The novelty and excitment of the occasion was embraced by all:

There is pending excitement for the House Music competition this Monday evening, furthered by the Easter holidays less than a week away. This said, in addition to the Netball, further channelling of this excitement took the form of our usual Saturday night movie. This week was a classic tale re-told: An Outlaw, robbing the rich to feed the poor and restoring glory to an otherwise corrupt and suppressed city of Nottingham: Robin Hood.

 

The final chapter in our three-part weekend adventure saw the boarders travel to Redpoint Climbing Centre in Bristol this afternoon. Herein, they were faced with a variety of outlandish climbing challenges, dares and trials, each testing the resolve and agility of our climbers; a lot of fun was had by all. Please take the time to enjoy the array of photographs below with a small slice of video action, too!

Looking ahead, we shall soon enjoy updating you with the events and awards following the Westwood House Music competition tomorrow night, which will mark the beginning of the end of the Spring Term. Until then, thank you for reading and best wishes for the week ahead.

Week 8 Captain Marvel, Bath Half Marathon & Wagamama family lunch

The Captains of Boarding have written this weekend's report

This weekend was home based and lots of the boarders enjoyed the comfort of being in Bath instead of getting on a coach. Starting off the fun was a late movie on Saturday which was positively accepted and we definitely enjoyed the thrill of a new avengers movie: Captain Marvel. Also many boarders loved the luxurious feeling of having a line of cabs waiting to take you to town; greatly appreciated. The next day was a bright and early start with us walking into town at 10:30 to support many runners at the bath half marathon and even our own Mr Thatcher! The boarders and I really enjoyed cheering people on and receiving loads of high fives from runners. This was excitedly followed by a fully paid meal to the great Wagamama’s  which was greatly thanked by all of us. Finally, we enjoyed a exercising yet challenging walk back up the hill to Westwood. We enjoyed this weekend so much and would like to say a big thank you to all the boarding staff involved.

This weekend Westwood boarders have had a fantastic and quite “luxury” weekend.

We went to the cinema to watch the Captain Marvel. It was a brilliant choice and we had lots of fun. We also went and supported the Kingswood pupils and staff in the Bath Half Marathon and it was an amazing atmosphere. Afterwards, we also went to Wagamama, an Asian fusion restaurant in town. It was delicious. Everyone had enjoyed themselves. By far, this was the most enjoyable weekend of this term. Thank you the house staff for organising the weekend.
