The Year 5 English teachers handed out their first wave of pen licences this morning! Congratulations to all the boys who received their licences, we look forward to handing out more next term. Well done to Otto, who also received his pen licence today but was absent for the photo.
This was another fantastically close match, as two Pilgrims' sides battled against each other.
Our boarders are all set for the opening of the ice rink which will appear in front of the school later this month.
I hope you had a fantastic and, dare I say it, active half-term. The wet weather has been doggedly persistent of late but thankfully it hasn’t been affecting us much. I have just recovered from a World Cup final defeat - but what a defining performance in the semi-final against the mighty All Blacks.
A busy week for all the boys, painting, drawing, sketch-booking, and getting messy!
This Sunday, the boarders went to the BBL all-star tournament at the Copper Box arena. It was a collection of the best teams in the league playing a series of 12-minute games, with each team able to have a one minute power play where points would be worth double.
The Quiristers and Winchester College Chapel Choir made their biennial journey to Eton this week to commemorate Amicabilis Concordia – an agreement made in 1444 between Winchester College, Eton College, New College, and King's College.
Eleven eager boys in the sailing team hit the high seas on Wednesday for their autumn regatta, shared this year with sailors from nearby Prince’s Mead. After a packed lunch and a briefing from chief instructor Jazz, everyone piled into the safety boats for a lift out to their Qubas which were ready rigged and on moorings, before being towed out to the race area off Weston Shore.
Runners in the Winchester Half Marathon were once again marshalled across the finish line by our Cubs and Scouts, the 4th Winchester.
Year 3 call in to see our friends at the St Johns’ Almshouses.
