Highfield

I have just spent the most amazing term at highfield school in England.
Every thing was different, I was a boarder, it was in a different language, they do different sports, this summer we did rounders back in France we were going to go on walks. We also do Athletics,that lead to the traditional sports day.

In the boarding house I had the biggest dorm, there were six of us. All dorms are named after famous people, ours because it was a girls dorm was named after FONTEYN, girls dorms were named after famous women and boys after famous men.

What was supposed to be a normal sledging outing ended up to be a lot of blood.

The snow is back!

On the first day of the Christmas holidays we decided to build "a quick igloo".
It was easer said than done...
We didn't have enough snow so we had to start again.
The snow didn't want to stick on the ballon (we sprayed snow on to a giant ballon 1.80 by 1.80)

A real Mickey Mouse of a climb

So we all went out to do a big Multi Pitch climb high above Brevent here is a video I made.

On the way back down the cable car we saw someone who is an even worse driver than my Dad

In the evening the Boulton Boys came round for dinner [and because we were all so tired from our epic rock climb] they beat us at Volley Ball. A complete fluke.

  4. We where now there. Time to unpack!
  5. Once weed unpacked, we went jumping of the (empty) morgue. 3 meters! Even Sophie!(look at the video below)
  6. Florence rang the noisy bell! (look at the video below)
  7. Time for dinner!
  8. Then Andrea assisted to a prayer and played her recorder.
  9. Yvon a retired monk how was just helping out for a few days (he was the top monk), taught Andrea the St Bernard Hospice song. (look at the video below)
