I present to you, the Top Moment of 2013...
No. 1: Perfect Sandwiches Podcaasts
We have been proud of so many things this year, and the Podcaast series is definitely one of them. With this being such a major development, I'm sure it's fair to say that we are all very happy with how it has turned out. I'm sure I speak on behalf of all the Sandwich Crew when I say that we are excited for the future :)
With that being said...
Righteo, bring on 2014!

Top 12 Moments of 2013: No. 2
The second best...
No. 2: Time to Assemble
It was arguably the biggest movie day that we had. A true Marvel Marathon, we watched 3 of the biggest hits, Iron Man, Thor and Avengers Assemble. Of course, everyone, apart from ANT, was dressed for the ocassion, the food department was over-flowing, and we couldn't have had a better time!
For all the details, check out the Avengers Assemble Movie Marathon Report :)

No. 4: Egg Rolling
If this wasn't fun, then I don't know what is, frankly. I'm sure that this is a day that we shall remember and will aim to replicate in the years to come. From the legendary 'Marble Egg' to ANT's fearsome 'Ninja', there were some truly remarkable eggs. Some were so ridiculously strong that, in the end, it morphed from egg rolling to egg smashing. The stand-out moment has got to be when 'Marble Egg' was smashed.

No. 5: The WelSHEEP's Lie
One lie in particular was a great let-down for ConscienceSarah and Master... But I'm sure the WelSHEEP will make up for it.

Top 12 Moments of 2013: No. 6
No. 6: Candy Crush Central
The game of the year is, without a doubt, Candy Crush. Most of us play it religiously, all being at varying levels, with Alexis currently on level 400+, and DisneyLoverMolly and Master catching up on level 100 and something. If we're not discussing/debating at lunchtime, we'll all be on Candy Crush, participating by either playing or spectating.
One thing that we have agreed on is that it is freaking addictive! In the latest edition of What's App-ening Wednesday, DisneyLoverMolly and ANT offer their opinions, why not take a look here ;)

Perfect Sandwiches Podcaasts: New Year's Special 2013
Happy New Year, everyone! To celebrate, we had a
little bit of friendly competition in the form of a quiz, hosted by
Ruby. Afterwards, there was some discussion about this year and what the
next one has to offer...

Top 12 Moments of 2013: No. 7
No. 7: Hel or Hell?
A discussion that truly made us all think. Here, we compared the two underworlds...then the conversation morphed into a discussion about whether occupants have plots of land, or maybe the method of death could be an individual's superpower in the realm of the dead...

No. 8: The Great Revision Quiz
With this year being one filled with exams, we found that there is no merrier way to revise than hosting a quiz via Skype with all the crew. There was much in terms of hilarity, for example, ArwaChihuahua's aircraft microphone, Wadz's sound board, and plenty of conversation spamming (including ANT's signature disco diva emoticon).

No. 9: Selfie with the Most Insignificant Object Contest
It's clear to us all that ANT and Master are two incredibly competitive people. Naturally, when they both got Snapchat, they embraced the opportunity to compete in terms of selfies. The entries have been most impressive, ranging from selfies with toilet roll, shower heads, kitchen appliances, door mats, towels and TV remotes.

It was in ANT and Master's final German lesson, when they were going through the glossary in the back of the textbook, that they stumbled upon this gem of an expression. The German translation is aufstiegsmöglichkeiten. At first, it seemed like there was no chance that we would ever come across this term ever again in our lives, however it came as a surprise when it popped up in Master's BUSINESS lesson. Here's the photographic proof:

No. 12: An Abundance of Griswalds
Ever since the beginning of the year, when we watched 'The Raven' at Wicks' birthday gathering, it's been brought to our attention that the name 'Griswald' isn't all that uncommon. Ever since then, the name has managed to crop up on multiple ocassions throughout the year.

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.
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:
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

What's App-ening Wednesday? #8: Candy Crush
Hello and welcome to a very special edition of What's App-ening Wednesday! Hope you're all having a fantastic holiday :)
Today, we have not one, but two reviewers, who will be providing their opinions on the incredibly popular game, Candy Crush.
http://www.royalgames.com/games/puzzle-games/candy-crush/
DisneyLoverMolly:
So, Candy Crush. Do yourself a favour and close this right now unless you want your life to be dominated by a frustrating and highly addictive game. Otherwise, continue at your own risk.
What can I say...it's fantastic. Not particularly original, and in the beginning seemingly simple. All you have to do is match a group of three of the same candies to meet the target. And then once you're hooked, just when you think you're actually pretty good at this game, they throw in all kinds of quite frankly evil obstacles. Never in my life have I hated chocolate so much. That's when your life starts to crumble...it's 3am and you're hunched over your iPod with scratchy eyes, getting more and more agitated and desperateto burst all the jellies or get those taunting hazelnuts to the bottom.
So, if you feel the need for a new addiction or a game that will knock ten years off your life, then by all means download Candy Crush. Don't say I didn't warn you.
ANT:
I'm going to make this quick because, quite frankly, I have neither the time nor the enthusiasm to be writing for the blog when Candy Crush is calling.
If you're thinking of downloading the app, don't. Sure, it's all fun and games at first...just a quick game of Candy Crush, 5 minutes tops, right? No. Take it from someone who spends their days visualising multiple Candy Crush combinations in their mind, watching the timer in distress when there are no lives left...Candy Crush is not quick, it's is not simple and it is most certainly not fun.
I suffer from what I like to call 'Candy Syndrome'. You may think I'm making this up for comedic effect but you're wrong, it is in fact a scientifically proven medical condition. It causes its victims'eyes to literally turn into the cookie candy. Nothing matters but the overwhelming rush of emotion after crushing that last candy to complete a level. Nothing. The disease is slowly taking over the population, one by one. Soon it will control every single living being, causing infinite spirals of despair to occur across the globe. We will be hooked for eternity.
We're talking about a game that even ConscienceSarah fails to ignore. I saw her just the other day, showing a small interest in DisneyLoverMolly's level in the study room. Her eyes began to morph into cookie candies right before me...soon she will join us. In 5 years time, I daresay, she'll be rocking in the corner of her room with the lights out, clutching her list of failed exams, wondering where it all went wrong.
Nothing is achieved from playing this game other than addiction, failure and disappointment.
Let this be a warning to you.

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 ;)

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 ;)

Weekly News Round-Up #44: 08/12/2013
Yo wassup peeps? Apologies from the depths of my heart for not updating WNR, we've all managed to acquire new jobs, which we'll talk about a little later...
First of all, the week started on a most joyous note as Wicks was reunited with her Thor cape (the curtains). Happy days!
On Tuesday, ArwaChihuahua, ConscienceSarah, Cap. and Master helped out at the Academy's open evening. ArwaChihuahua and Cap. were trying to 'sell' Chemistry and Biology, however it became apparent that not many people were interested in the Chemistry leaflet. This prompted the duo to slip Chemistry leaflets inside Biology ones... #tactics
Meanwhile, ConscienceSarah and Master were all for Team Maths. There was quite a split reaction to the subject as some parents were eager whereas others weren't so much. At one point, Master offered a leaflet to a parent, however the reply was something along the lines of 'No thanks, my kid's only got ten fingers!'
As many of you will know, this week has been dedicated to numbers, as Tuesday was the NSPCC's Number Day. This prompted an Interhouse competition on Wednesday. Of course, it was typical that Wicks and Master got dragged into participating. The challenge was called 'Get in Shape', where each house had a team of people. The name of a shape would be displayed on the screen and participants would have to work together to create that shape in a set time. Our team was very much floor-orientated, but at the end of the day we came second! We'll take that ;p
Also in the name of Number Week, we had a non-uniform day on Friday. The theme was numbers and maths, naturally. Unsurprisingly, ANT put as much effort into her outfit as usual. None whatsoever.
Friday was also a day full of study periods for The Beckster, ANT and Master. Apart from the fact that they hardly had any work to do. ANT had to leave herself 2 questions and a heck-load of stapling to do in the second study period.
When it came to breaktime, ANT and Master had a little debate about the neck accessory that Master was sporting. Master claimed that it was an infinity scarf, The Beckster called it a snood, whilst ANT surprised us all by pronouncing it as 'schnud' (?)... We think she means a snood [another Evascene/Evanscene moment]. ANT claimed that she didn't see the point of snoods, however, at lunchtime, ConscienceSarah and Master were sitting next to eachother, where ConscienceSarah's scarf was struggling to stay around her neck, whilst Master had no such problems. It was essentially a snood advert.
We also had some chocolate coins at break. It was all fun and games until Master accidentally chewed on some foil after forgetting to remove it from both sides. All was fine in the end.
By the time it got to the second study lesson, ANT decided that she would draw a nice Christmas picture. Originally, her idea was to juxtapose joy and horror, however decided against it in the end. The unfinished illustration featured a Christmas tree, a reindeer, a sleigh and Santa. There were also multiple radiators in the drawing, one of which was incredibly close to the tree. This prompted Master to bring up a concern about health and safety as it would be a fire hazard to have fairy lights, a tree and excessive heat together. This lead to ANT drawing in a fire alarm right above the tree in order to silence these issues that she believed to be ridiculous in a work of fiction. The other radiator came about as ANT accidentally raised the floor line, therefore this was the only way for a quick fix.
Even though she claims that this drawing is non-realistic, ANT did get a little flustered when she took a step back and thought that the sleigh was too big, therefore it would be unreasonable even for the magical reindeer to pull...
Update on the 'Selfie with the Most Insignificant Object' Contest: New selfies include #polishbottleselfie, #showerheadselfie, #towelrackselfie and #remotecontrolselfie (complete with cranberry juice).
Update on new projects: So, Creative Writing Club Round-Up is now being updated every Friday by ConscienceSarah over on the Book Blog. If you haven't checked it out, I'd highly recommend it :)
Also, we've been doing a fair amount of recording for the new podcaast series (yes, we're going to continue spelling it as 'podcaast'). There will be plenty of new material coming soon in the next few days. We'll alert y'all when it premieres ;)
Until next week, have a good one ;p

Weekly News Round-Up #43: 01/12/2013
So, the first thing that ANT says on Monday is, "I put up my Christmas tree this weekend". Note: It was still November on Monday.
One the same day, ANT and Master had a little debate about a certain painting in the study room. Master claimed that it featured a man with a map, however ANT believed that the map was a tablecloth.
There was a little more confusion in the Stats lesson. ConscienceSarah and Mexx Bear talked about Starbursts (sweets/candy) and there was a question about the probability of some men getting ill. Also, ConscienceSarah drew a wonderful scene in the middle of a question. Take a look here:
It was also a rare Club Week, which called for us all to do some tennis. It must also be noted that not much tennis was involved in the session. There was some difficulty regarding keys to courts and who should go and get the right key... To end the day, we did a little singing. And when I say 'we', I mean everyone, apart from ArwaChihuahua and ANT.
The most part of the week was spent discussing Alexis' old YouTube channel, which currently does not have any videos on it. Triangle and The Appalling One dedicated an entire lunchtime to making fun of a video that used to be on Alexis' channel. At the beginning of the video, Alexis does a little half-spin on the chair, however, during lunch, the story morphed into Alexis uploading a whole chair-spinning video. I think it's fair to say that everyone, apart from Alexis, had a good laugh about it all ;p
For Christmas, Master promised ConscienceSarah some new staples for a very small stapler. Master measured the staples and concluded that they were 7mm in width. Now, where are we gonna find staples of that size...?
Amusing (at least I think so) anecdote: ANT contemplated getting Master and advent calendar for Christmas. It was only later that she realised that it would defeat the whole point of the calendar to gift it to someone on Christmas Day.
Second amusing (well, not really) anecdote: On #Minecraft, Master was trying to place down some blocks, whist ANT had a jolly good time blocking Master's path.
On Friday, ANT shared with us her absolute favourite Twitter page: Nailed It. Let me tell you now, it's fantastic.
Friday was also a good day as the cafeteria was selling chips in ANT's favourite shape. Yes, ANT has a favourite chip shape. Who doesn't? And if you were wondering what shape of chip ANT favours, it's just the normal sort, not the curly fries. Now, if this scenario seems incomplete, let me complete it for you now: Master couldn't help but have a little chuckle at the salt sachet. And I'd be lying if I said that there wasn't a comment or two about packaing.
The weekend was an interesting one. We found ourselves downloading Snapchat. This prompted a competition between ANT and Master (two of the most fiercely competitive people. Well, not quite)...the 'Selfie with the Most Insignificant Object' Contest. So far, we've had a #sinkselfie, #bottleselfie, #hooverselfie, #toiletrollselfie and #tvselfie with Bradley Walsh (?) on the telly. We'll keep you posted on any more selfies.
Until next week, have a good one ;)

Hello everyone! I must admit that we have some rather exciting news this week, but you'll have to wait until the end for the big announcements.
First of all, arguably the most outrageous thing that happened this week was the sitaution where Master decided to drop a subject, which was finalised with a range of signatures on the Quit Sheet. The consequences have been rather sever, with many people, including Alexis, Triangle and Bob, being rather disappointed. It is unlikely that Master will be forgiven anytime soon.
On a brighter note, ANT really out-did herself this week. In English, the criteria was to draw a scene from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', which included a couple of fairies. ANT, however, decided to go the extra mile and illustrated a fairy kingdom, complete with everything from leisure facilities, such as a bowling alley, to a fairy cemetery. Here it is, in all its glory. Try and spot the bowling alley:
In contrast to the previous event, being rather light-hearted, we had a pretty intense assembly on road safety. Even ANT, who was in the first group to attend, wished us luck.
Thursday lunchtime was an incredibly eventful one.
First of all, DisneyLoverMolly had a little trouble with a Sprite bottle. Many tissues were called to the scene.
Secondly, here's where the announcements come in...
There are currently quite a few projects in the pipelines. We're talking about a Creative Writing Club Round-Up, which will hopefully be available over on the Book Blog. This will sum up everything that goes on on a Wednesday lunchtime.
Also, we've talked about creating a podcast, or a 'podcaast', as Master likes to say. I'm sure you'll agree that this is quite a significant development as we are expanding from written trivialities to audio trivialities. We'll keep you updated on what's gonna be happening.
Amusing (hopefully) anecdote of the week: To mess with everyone, ArwaChihuahua and Wicks were sitting on the same chair, but at one point, without anyone noticing, swapped coats. This prompted some confusion. To make it even more mind-boggling, they managed to synchronise their hand gestures.
Another amusing (perhaps) anecdote: DisneyLoverMolly brilliantly noticed the similarities between ANT and Haymitch Abernathy from 'The Hunger Games'. Seriously, there is no personality match more accurate!
And yet anouther amusing (maybe) anecdote: Master sneezed twice in 'silent study'. At this point, ANT turns round and states, "It's SILENT study."
Until next week, have a good one ;)
