Over the past week, the boys have enjoyed cross-country running within their year group bubbles, during PE lessons
We are so delighted with the work that has been done to provide a lovely space for boarders to rest and recover in what was formerly Sick Bay.
The excitement has been building amongst the boys (and Mr Armstrong!) in the last few weeks, as the imminent return to the D&T workshop approached.
As the weather turned ever more autumnal, the boys enjoyed the fun aspects of rain this week. Squelching through soggy leaves, listening to raindrops landing on the giant ‘dragon’ plants and of course lots of puddle splashing!
