Summer has arrived!

 

Hello hello everyone!

The sun has arrived! Just thought i should mention that to you all as it seems to have taken forever for the sun to come out! This past week has probably been my best week here so far. With summer term coming to an end there were multiple functions held in a big marquee out on the lawn with wine, champagne and Pimm’s! ( which i haven’t really taken a fancy to). The summer concert was held on Thursday night which held a fantastic display of the musical talent in the school. I was very impressed and in awe of the talent here at such a young age.

 

I love this photo! Alexa, Kylie and i with two of the girls

We got our own reserved signs!

Thursday night ended up with a lot of music, singing and dancing outside which evidently kept the kids up all night, so they say… but all was fine come Friday morning ready for our final school day. We had two assemblies to farewell staff members, children leaving and give out awards. There are heaps of talented kids here at All Hallows, wether it be musical, academic or sports everyone seems to be at everything! Friday night we had the leavers reception, for all of the year 8’s and their parents, gave them time to feel like the leavers of the school, like i had at home when leaving Ogilvie.

Friday night was our last night at the Pub as a group as Will and Emilio have now finished here! Things will be very different come September with new people coming in and others leaving, but hopefully it will be as good as the last five months have been. Can you believe I've been here for 170 days already! Time goes so quickly when your working and having fun!

Saturday we had our Prize giving day where all kids form year 3-8 and their parents attend the service in the marquee. But first i had to attend mass, which was highly embarrassing as i had no clue as to what to do,which is how the year 8’s say they will now remember me, apparently it was funny? Anyway straight after Mass we headed out to prize giving for 2 hours or so to see the main prizes handed out. Saturday was fun and rather warm, i managed to get pretty sunburnt on my chest! which hurt a lot… Saturday night we had to look after a group of Spanish kids who weren’t leaving until Sunday afternoon, which turned out to be an interesting night. Involving kids running outside and around the school as well as an air horn being blown at around midnight, But it was all good and fun!

2013 gaps!

 

Thankyou Kylie for all the photos!

Sunday was a pretty relaxed day. Wimbledon finals were on and it was quite a significant occasion for the British as they hadn’t won for 77 years or something, so  basically was like Dad yelling at the footy, but instead it was masses of people yelling at Murray over Tennis. Sunday night involved a bit more music and singing, sitting on the rooftop and cards. Late nights all round this week, i’m quite surprised i’m still alive and haven’t carked it from lack of sleep every night.

Today has been amazing! Went to Thorpe park, which is a theme park similar to Dreamworld, but amazing! Apart from the queues which were to be expected, the adrenaline rushes were incredible. i am still on such a high after it all i literally haven’t shut up since i got home. You all need to look it up on the internet, because yeah, i went there! and now i want to go back, or to Alton Towers which apparently is even better!

Now i need to pack ready for my little Europe tour with Immi, starting on Sunday! getting nervous and excited all at the same time, mainly because we don’t actually have a lot of things booked. But hopefully it will all work out in the end!

Hopefully this has given you a little insight into the last week, as it have been amazing! i look forward to more great weeks like this to come!

Ta Ta for now!
