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
