It takes an incredible trust in yourself to tackle a poem – sometimes from another era and in a second language – and to live with that poem until it becomes part of you. Every boy at Pilgrims' from Years 3 to 8 rose to the challenge, selecting their poems with care and putting a great deal of time into their learning.
The Year 7 Scholarship class took a trip to the Winchester College Biology Department to look at the various animals they have there.
Year 7 have spent their Red Nose Day at the V&A in London. They had a great day out, and seeing Olly Alexander was a particular highlight!!

There is a website called 'Board Game Geek'. It currently lists about 60,000 board games and related accessories. Did you know there were that many in existence? There are obvious ones such as Risk and Monopoly, but there are loads of other games too, and more coming out every year. In fact, there are websites, blogs, magazines and conventions all dedicated to board games of all shapes, sizes and themes.
The Choristers' Instrumental Concert took place last Thursday after a usual busy day of lessons.
The Quiristers' Instrumental Concert followed their Sunday morning service.
All the boys learn the piano and an orchestral instrument, alongside their singing tuition. Their performances were well received and thoroughly enjoyed by their parents and peers. As always, it was a joy to hear how our Cs and Qs are progressing on their musical journeys, from the probationers who are just starting out, to the Year 8s who are tackling some rather impressive repertoire.
Huge congratulations to all the boys!
It has been a long time since our Choristers and Quiristers have sung together in the College Chapel, so last night was a special occasion for our professional singers. Friends who spend a lot of time together in school and in boarding could enjoy singing side by side - something they spend a large proportion of their week doing in their separate choirs, but rarely can do together. They made a fantastic sound and filled the Chapel with 33 beautiful treble voices. It was lovely to see the five Year 4 Chorister Probationers in the congregation with members of staff.
Parents mingled over refreshments in Crimea (the Chapel foyer) with Dr Essex and Dr Hands. Everyone agreed the Cs and Qs and their families should join together more often!
