Weekly News Round-Up #34: 22/09/2013

Hello! How's it going? I hope you've all had a delightful week, I must admit that I've had a relatively quiet one, but let's crack on...

The beginning of the week was rather chilly, in my opinion, but Wicks insisted on staying outside at break time. Lunchtime proved to be too much as everyone voted 'inside'.
Lunch was a quiet affair until a wasp decided to pop in through an open window (there's probably more news about wasps this week than there is about people).
But, putting that aside, ANT became the Salad Oracle. Amazingly, she was able to predict what time it was just be looking at the box of salad! However, she denies possessing such powers (I'm sure she'll come to terms with it sooner or later).
Also, Ruby told a great story concerning yogurt. It happened that she had a pot of yogurt with a spoon in it, however, when she lifted her iPod from the table, the magnet from the iPod case attached itself to the spoon. This caused an extraordinary chain of events, where the spoon was flung out of the pot and, consequently, yogurt was spilt.
And, to top off our lunch break, ANT decided that Master needed more app homework in the form of getting to level 10 on Candy Crush.

Speaking of apps, I hope you're all enjoying What's App-ening Wednesday! We've got a great review from ANT this week, so look forward to that :)

Time skip to Wednesday afternoon, we had a wonderfully hot and stuffy enrichment fair. There were some lovely clubs, such as fake flower-making, debate club, a range of sports, and even one for blogging. In the end, we went for badminton. Tune in next week when there's bound to be badminton drama of some sort ;p

After the fair, we had a bunch of spare time on our hands, which we spent on playing more Candy Crush. There's was even time near the end of the day for a flash game of Squares, where we had DisneyLoverMolly vs. ConscienceSarah and ANT vs. Master. For the latter duo, it was as if Christmas had come early ;p They started off on the standard 10x10 grid, but quickly realised there wasn't enough time, so they had two matches, one on a 3x3, where ANT won, and the other on a 4x4, where Master won. As always, ANT is correct when she says 'it's all fun and games until the final few lines'. Still as competitive as ever, bring on badminton...

On Friday, we found out what we'd be doing for the Academy's All-round Fun-day, which will be taking place on Thursday. Most of us got what we applied for, however that wasn't the case for ANT, who will be a team coordinator for the year 8's. Now, if you know ANT, you'll know that she isn't particularly keen on leadership or year 8's. We'll see how she gets on...

Seriously, there's so much to look forward to this week!

We've had so much trouble with wasps this week I thought it would only be fair that we dedicate a paragraph to the lil' buggers. These wasps have been hanging around us so much that we've made games out of them. Here are a few: Dodge the Wasp (self-explanatory), Capture the Wasp (mainly played by ArwaChihuahua, where she attempts to trap the wasp in a polystyrene lunch box) and Wasp Statues (where we substitute the music, in Musical Statues, for wasps).

After that wonderful week, Wadz, ArwaChihuahua, ANT and Master were walking home when a new idea was born. Wadz predicted that ANT will become the founder of an extremely successful bath mat company named Stumble Co. Ltd. It seems that they have already set up this company as I was pleasantly surprised on Friday night when a complimentary card and lemon thing came through the letter box. Here's the photo evidence:
How lovely!

Until next week, have a good one ;)
