Weekly News Round-Up #46: 22/12/2013

Hello, and how exciting it is that it is now the end of term! Let's recap our last week...

On Monday, we taunted ConscienceSarah by calling her 'gran' as she often seems to have an older mind.

This has been an incredibly significant week as we've finally decided that no more salt-related jokes shall be made about ANT. It is officially the end of the salt era.

In our study lesson, ConscienceSarah and Master got a little carried away with hashtags... #trust #falsehood #saltassualt #cwc #t12mo13 #quailquarrels
Make what you will out of it...

During Form time, we did some carol singing. It must be noted that ANT was especially enthusiastic and was truly belting out those Christmas tunes. Also, it became apparent, during 'The 12 Days of Christmas' that Master is incapable of counting backwards from 12. Oh dear.

Squares 2013 - ANT vs. Master

On Wednesday, ANT and Master had their Annual Game of Squares. As you may or may not know, this has become somewhat of a tradition and the year is just incomplete without it. Take a look at how the game went:

A - ANT - Black pen
J - Master - Blue pen

Surprisingly, ANT and Master both won once each with the same score! This was completely coincidental (it would have been very difficult to stage such a complex and strategic game).

Afterwards, we had a game of Pictionary (but without the board, so it was basically 'Guess the Drawing') with DisneyLoverMolly and ConscienceSarah. Take a look at how that went:

Guess the Drawing

Wednesday was also an incredibly special as Ruby, Wicks, ArwaChihuahua, ANT and Master got their Sports Leaders certificates and badges. It was pretty official as they came in a 'Do not bend' envelope and everything. Despite this, ANT took her certificate, folded it thrice and then put it in her bag.

Lunchtime was most eventful, with chocolate mints, hiding said mints, then making towers with boxes, bottles and also the previously mentioned mints. This surely shows that chocolate mints are the most versatile type of confectionery.
Other lunchtime activities included creating a square button out of a pasta pot and a plastic box. It made a most satifactory pop when pressed down. This sparked a new game, imaginatively named 'The Button', where players aim to press the Button without another player pressing it at the same time. Players press the button one after another in quick succession. It's sort of like that game where a group of people aim to count to 10 without more than 1 person talking at the same time. #funtimes ;p
We truly had one game after another that lunchtime. Afterwards, we took a coffee lid and had a pinball-esque game, swiping the lid from one end of the table to the other. This turned into a doubles match with Cap. and ANT vs. Wicks/ArwaChihuahua and Master. It got intense.

Whilst all of that was going on, ConscienceSarah was playing Candy Crush. She observed that it's a pretty blunt game, in all honesty, as it just says 'you failed' when you don't manage to complete a level. Well, it's not gonna sugar-coat it for you... #puntastic

On Friday, we had a jolly good time exchanging presents and eating. I, for one, was running on sugar pretty much for the whole day (but managed not to be too hyper as the harmonica-playing was sorta draining). We ended the term with a game of Blind Man's Bluff, ConscienceSarah doing a bit of tap dancing and then walking down a make-shift catwalk. Of course, when it got down to the last 10 minutes, everyone was on Candy Crush...typical.

Until next time, have a good holiday season ;p
