Natural Spa

On the 10th of November we had a natural spa experience from our boarding house and this was with all-natural items. It was for all Year 10 boarders, and we all gathered at 2:00pm in the Clive common room. Then the lovely lady spoke to us about our skin and ways of defeating rough and oily skin, something I found very helpful was the advice she gave about oily skin. The natural spa was very relaxing and calming for a Sunday afternoon. I really enjoyed it.

Jump Fit

On Saturday morning, the Year 10s gathered together in the Sports Hall for our session of Jumpfit. We were instructed to wear some jumping shoes which made us feel incredibility tall. We met a really nice lady who guided us through the multiple workouts. We started off the session with two warm-up exercises, which got us ready and used to the shoes. Next, we went into small groups and each group took turns doing the different kinds of fitness exercises, all of us found this exhausting but at the same time fun. This experience has been amazing and we would love to do it again.

Pizza Baking

Last Sunday, our activity was cookery and so we got to make some homemade pizzas, in my opinion, it was really fun as I've never done that before. To make the pizzas we got split into pairs and I remember Hannah and Catherine made a huge pizza, where they stuffed the crust with cheese then added a variety of toppings and after it cooked it smelt amazing. The pizza Elena made was so perfectly round, I don't know what she added, but it tasted so creamy and delicious. Although it was fun, it also required some muscles to roll the dough, I believe that many of us had an arm workout, especially Sophie! All in all, it was a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon, and I think that we all enjoyed the time that we spent together getting our hands dirty.

Ice Skating

We went on a lovely ice skating trip to Swindon. We were all really excited about it, and it was also really fun. The Ice rink over there is huge and we all participated fully into our activity. Many of my friends weren't really confident with their ice skating skills at the start but they were really confident and enjoying it at the end. It was an amazing experience to skate with my friends, and we own a really big thank you to the boarding staff for taking us. Thank you!
