Visitors from Kingswood College.

Thursday April  27th

 We were delighted to welcome Mrs Debbie Kent and her family from Grahamstown.

Debbie is a grade 3 teacher and taught Morgan, Xande, Henry and Meghan when they were in the junior school.

 Debbie's daughter Shelley and her boyfriend David both went to Kingswood College and now live and work in bath.  David plays for a local team and Scotland.

Alexander, James, Eleanor and Anisha are all looking forward to going out to school in Grahamstown at the end of our summer term.

Fun in the woods

 This afternoon all the boarders went up into the beautiful Westwood Bluebell woods and had a bonfire and BBQ.  They built dens and played games before the rains came.

 The old man of the woods pleased with another conflagration in the woods.

Arthur was determined to help build the wall.

 Still going.............

 Mrs H is always very popular when giving out the marshmallows.

Westwood Inter-House Orienteering Competition

Wednesday March 22nd.

The Inter-house Orienteering was held on Wednesday in drying conditions.  However, the going underfoot was soft and very muddy in places particularly through the woods.  All the competitors coped really well with the tricky conditions and adapted well to the exciting course set up by Mrs Hallett and her excellent team.

 The children set off at regular intervals - every 30 secs -  and their finish time is printed out by the computer.

The race to the first check point.  We use the modern electronic system of punching.

 The scores in the Individual Competition were as follows;

Yr 8 Girls

Westwood at the Hollywood Bowl

The boarders all enjoyed their trip this week to the Hollywood Bowl at Cribbs Causeway.  All the children had two games - without bumpers - to try to hit their highest score.  No max scores of 300 this time but good practice was had by all including the odd chip here and there.

 Taetae was eager to prove that he had actually scored a double strike.

Oscar was not too sure what to do with this large round thing.

Despite the lack of bumpers he was pleased to record his highest score and got better as the round progressed and even managed to eventually remove his coat.

 Dario making the most of the catering facilities on offer at the Hollywood Bowl.

 Eloise staring desperately at lots of money behind class.

As always Polina wins on the machines.

Top bowlers today were Polina and Taetae, well done.
