Monday morning saw Wicks coming into school and having a litle rant about X-men. To avoid SPOILERS, skip to the next bold word. It is a mystery to us all how Magneto manages to lose when there are people on the opposing team who are partly made of metal. We think he's definitely a candidate for Villain Academy. Overall, it got a 2/12 from Wicks.
After lunch, BaffledHarrison, Alexis, Wicks and Master all had a free lesson. They decided it would be nice for BaffledHarrison to read them an extract from 'A Game of Thrones', since he has such an audio-book-reader voice. The whole experience was enhanced further by the occasional ad-lib ;p
In the middle of the week, they had enrichment in the form of badminton, where a rather extraordinary number of people turned up.
Firstly, Master looked pretty ridiculous as the only person in the room standing in full PE kit. ANT unintentionally made matters worse by saying that she 'felt over-dressed' when she was swaggering about in normal gear.
During the session, the group managed to lose their court to another group. Consequently, they were squeezed onto a smaller court, playing 3 against 2. Wicks remarked that we should play like you'd play table football, where you can only move sideways. Overall, we had a good time :)
Thursday was the Academy's All-round Fun-day!
Wicks, ArwaChihuahua, ConscienceSarah and Master were involved in activities inspired by the Hunger Games. Sensibly, most people went for the green and black colour palette, outfit-wise. It also happened that there was plenty of face/body paint, which was meant for camouflage. Everyone, apart from Wicks, went all out on the paint. Wicks, The Wolf, decided to transform Master into The Eagle by painting a yellow beak on her forehead. It was all happy days until the end of the day when Master tried to wash it all off. That was the tricky part.
Meanwhile, Ruby and ANT were involved in Interhouse events with the 2nd years. To our surprise, ANT apparently had a good day being a team coordinator and working with the younger kids. Although she did have one kid who decided to be the downer of the group and insisted on not doing anything. There was also a kid who insisted on being called 'Samuel' instead of 'Sam'. He was apparently the real star of the group.
On Friday, most of us had a good go on the Google piñata
game. Also, ANT and Ruby experimented with different Google tricks,
such as typing in 'Google sphere' or 'Google gravity' and then hitting
the 'I'm feeling lucky' button. Master was oh so impressed with this
new-found Google knowledge.
There
was also much discussion at lunchtime about the pet versions of certain
games. They contemplated 'Candy Crush Pets' (which Wicks imagined to be
a rather terrible game where pets got crushed by candy), 'Cut the Rope
Pets' and 'Top Girl Pets'.
However,
the game of the moment has got to be 'Handy Crush' (Name credits go to ConscienceSarah). Yes, you heard
right, it's that pointless game where you and a bunch of friends sit
around a table and piles your hands on top of one another's.
And
to end a most eventful week, we had a lil' tribal moment, where we used
the tables as drums, Wadz did a solo, and ConscienceSarah half-expected
someone to burst into a tribal tune and perform a ceremony of sorts.
Until next week, have a good one ;)
