Boarding activities on a Sunday

Hi my name is Hope Lilley and I have been fully boarding for four years now. I am a boarding prefect alongside Pablo and Angus. We really are like a family; the older always look after the youngers, like you would at home. I am just going to tell you about what we do on sundays.

On a Sunday morning we get up at 8;30, one whole hour later than a school day! We go down to breakfast at 9 and we all wait for each other to finish. We have free time until 10 when we go to buy tuck. Miss Lupton our matron kindly sorts out our pocket money.We all enjoy going there! 

After we get back we have free outside play until lunch. During that time we all usally go outside and play we all play together! During lunch we all say the grace and eat together.

In the afternoon we have some time to eat our tuck and use our phones and tablets. We also do something as our main activity, we went to the bottom pitches to collect blackberries to make jam, which was really fun. Some of the older boarders had some of the younger ones on our shoulders. 

We also have been to big rock climbing centre we loved climbing with everyone. If we got to the top of the hardest rope Mr Owens promised a chocolate bar; he thought no one would get to the top but both of the Oates twins got to the top.

We did some marshmallow cooking over the fires on Sunday with Miss Cox we all had some marshmallows! Another great Sunday.
