11 of December - Friday

Inter-house games for the U6 were going to take place. They were posponed until the first week after the Chirstmas break because:

• The weather was terrible. If it rained we would only have volleyball and no basketball or futsal.
• The L6 were not there.
• There were very few U6 there. There would only be 2 people in the Stuart team!

3 of November - Tuesday

The school looks...desolate...in the 6th form. It reminds me greatly of Rancho a few weeks ago, when a huge percentage of the 6th Form Students spent the week away.
This time, though, it was a Biology trip that left yesterday afternoon (yes, a holiday) and will only be back Friday afternoon.

The thing is, at least 60% of the U6 does Biology so the 6th Form Centre looks even more empty than it did a few weeks ago. The result is that classes consist of an average of 4-7 pupils. Interestingly enough, our English A2 class only had 4 people; but it always has only 4 people!

I think it's pretty interesting that the last post before the Half-Term also happens to be the 40th post on this blog. It's pretty weird to think I've actually been managing to write one post per day!

Oh, right: why do Sodexho insist on giving us FISH and YOGHURT on the last day before a holiday?! Do they want us to leave with a bad impression? I don't look forward to my last lunch at the school...

Anyway...

It finally happened! The Athletics Day! Due to the dull weather today and for the past couple of days there was only a 40% chance of it happening, but that 40% pulled through, causing only minimal problems with the events.

Now, being a Windor, I didn't spend too much time (read: at all) in the areas of the different houses. But I do know that even the younger kids got into the whole thing: wearing blue wigs, waving blue pom-poms. The F5, L6 and U6 limited ourselves to blue facepaint: either a blue spot or blue lines on our cheeks.

Slipping in the races didn't bother people much and at least three people slipping and falling straight on the floor at the end of the race just added to the comedy of the whole thing!

The results were as follows:

3rd - Tudor

2nd - Windsor

1st - Stuart

Now the whole school's got an entire week off! Happy holidays to everyone and take your well-earned rest!

8 of October - Thursday

With the Athletics Day coming up tomorrow (if the weather improves, that is) the pre-contested events are over and here are the results:

Boys :

1st Stuart
2nd Tudor
3rd Windsor

Girls:
1st Windsor
2nd Tudor
3rd Stuart

Overall:

1st Windsor andTudor
3rd Stuart

In rather unrelated news, the Rancho teams have arrived back home today. I look forward to finding out the results of the tournament tomorrow. I'll be sure to put them on here tomorrow.

5 of October - Monday

Even asking around I couldn't find much to talk about today. Well, what can I say? It was just a normal, uneventful school day.

Yesterday, though, everybody who was either in the basketball or football teams left for the week to go the the Rancho, a tournament where schools compete against each other in a vartiety of different sports.

That makes up a great deal of the L6 and the U6. As a result of that, the lessons today and for the rest of the week will be quite empty.

1 of October - Thursday

Oh man, what a day!

The main news was that the ENEM exam was apparently leaked by someone so, instead of having it on the weekend, it has been posponed for what should be a period of 45 days.

What was most tiring today was what happened after school hours were over.

At night, our teams went to Graded school to play some football (or "soccer" as Graded must call it!).

For those that stayed behind and were going to do their ENEM (depite it's cancellation) were welcome to a talk from Mrs. Viegas about techniques on the exam and ways to go well.

At 6 'o clock at night, the Handel concert began. It was a great hour of wonderful classical music in the theatre with a lot more people than I expected, to be honest. It was also the perfect opportunity to train Gian, the newest member of the lighting team, how to work the lighting board in order to be my replacement when I leave school at the end of the year.
