Weekly News Round-Up #45: 15/12/2013

It's been a relatively quiet week...apart from a few things that went on here and there...

We kicked off the week by holding our first ever board meeting. Attendance was borderline poor at 40%, with only Wicks and Master present. They went on to imagine what typical meeting would be like... ANT would be on Tiny Tower, Wicks would be sleeping or hammering away at the table or, alternatively, being hammered by ArwaChihuahua, who could also help with hammering at the table. Meanwhile, Ruby would just roll her eyes... Overall, it was a productive afternoon, where we came out with plenty of new ideas for the future.

No week is complete without us trying to annoy Alexis. The aim, on a particular lunchtime, was to throw a penny into Alexis' custard. Many penny coins were involved, including a few from Triangle, who was unwilling to participate and part with his pennies. Eventually, The Appalling One achieved the goal, however Alexis just threw the custard and the penny into the bin altogether.

In the middle of the week, we did a Christmas quiz as part of Enrichment. This required us to work in groups of up to 3, so we had Wicks, Ruby and ArwaChihuahua in a group, ConscienceSarah and DisneyLoverMolly in a pair, and Cap., ANT and Master in a group. We'll be looking at the progress of the last group mentioned.
One of the tasks was to design a Christmas jumper, however the trio decided to go the extra mile and create a whole line of knitted clothing items. This included some interesting trousers, socks, jumpers (of course) and also a Christmas pudding inspired balaclava.
Here's another question from the quiz: 'Why was the poult sad?' To this, Master was inspired by ANT and concocted this answer: 'It won't see its family this Christmas because it'll be roasting in a furnace of death.' Oh dear.
The final question was, suitably, 'What is the real meaning of Christmas?' Originally, ANT's answer was going to be something along the lines of 'There is no real meaning as it is a commercial holiday developed by the government in order to make a larger profit, so they get higher bonuses.' In the end, we decided to play it safe and went with 'n/a'.
[Please note, we did not intend to offend anyone. It was just meant to be a bit of fun.]

We ended the week with a Stats lesson, where ConscienceSarah drew a fantastic owl. Then she taunted Master with a little tune that Master just couldn't put her finger on, at the time. At the end of the lesson, Master shared the problem, to which one of the Stats Dudes immediately identified as Darth Vader's theme tune from Star Wars.

Until next week, have a good one ;)
