Weekly News Round-Up #28: 05/05/2013

My sincerest apologies for this most late edition of Weekly News Round-Up. I was unable to update on time due to some technical issues.

So, what happened this week? Well...

In Form time on Monday, the guys were playing tin tong (nothing strange in that), but the best thing was that one of them dived for the tin ball, hit it back to the rest of the group, but fell off his chair. It was truly a moment to remember ;p

In History, ConscienceSarah was persuading Master to say 'rainbow bikini' in a builder voice because she thought it would be funny. Let's all try it now...

In that same lesson, we learned about John Simon who was a public health officer in the 1800's. By the name, Wicks deemed him to be possibly one of the greatest men to have ever graced the planet as his name is a mix of John Snow and Simon Wicks.

Tuesday was a day of extreme sports...well, vaulting. Upon first hearing that we had to do it, we were pretty scared. However, we all agreed that it was a lot better than we expected it to be. So, if you ever have to do vaulting, don't worry, it's not too bad.

Breaktime held the most interesting of snack discussions. It happened that ArwaChihuahua had a pack of Cheese and Bacon crisps, which blew everyone's mind as no one had ever seen anything like it before. Furthermore, Wicks had a pack of non-meat related crisps, which were apparently from a Meat Multi-pack. What's going on?!

In the middle of the week, something in Form happened that perhaps made ANT's week. As usual, the guys were playing tin tong. ANT had always hoped that one day the tin ball would come flying over to our table and Master would hit it. Well, it happens that that day was Wednesday! Whatta moment ;p

During lunchtimes this week, we came up with some ideas for what we could do in the summer. Some ideas that we came up with were chair games and Minecraft parties (of course our rooms would be stocked up with Meat Multi-packs).

Thursday proved to be an interesting day as we had to have our year photo taken. This included piling as many people as possible onto a seemingly small structure made up of metal bars and planks. I remember seeing one person on the top level who was hanging their foot over the edge.
It was only half the battle trying to fit everyone in, but it was more difficult trying to get everyone to keep still to take the photo (some people kept putting their hands up).
Overall, it took a lot longer than anyone thought. Afterwards, to kill time before the next lesson, we were allowed to take pictures by ourselves. One of the most impressive of poses was the triple piggy back. It's probably not wise to try it at home.

Wadz was pretty badly shoe-ed this week. Somehow her laces were always undone, but the worst part was that she lost an aglet. Disappointing.

Onto other matters...we know the 5 second rule, Wicks' 2-peg-policy, but now we present to you the 8 banana rule. Listen well, because, according to Wicks, if the average person has more than 8 bananas in a day, they will die. Please watch your banana intake.

There are many talented people in the Academy. This was proven on Friday when we learnt that one of our class members is able to turn someone else's bag inside out in a certain lesson. Every time without fail. And he has never gotten caught doing it. Wow.

Our last lesson of the week was German, where we took part in an active revision pub quiz (sort of). Our most formidable opponents were the guy who always says 'nein' and Mr. Sehr quick; and together they were the dream team. As expected, brilliance ensued.

Until next week, have a good one :)

Note: There will not be a Weekly News Round-Up in the following weeks. A post shall be released when it restarts.
