| After the House Plays on the
12th of March students enjoyed tasty barbeque food, a fancy dress
competition, entertainment in the form of highland dancing from the
"Highland Byngs" and then a disco. As the House Plays had been set during the Second World War, the theme for the party was the 1940s. Superb decorations prepared by Mrs Bartlett and the art students from Years 7, 8 and 9 graced the lounge and hall walls and subtly set the scene. Since the students who had taken part in the House Plays were still in costume, finding the right look for the evening was only a problem for the staff. As you can see from the pictures below, they seemed to manage ok! What a resourceful bunch they are ... |

Let's hear it for the "Highland Byngs" who, having learned Scottish Country dancing in their PE lessons with Miss Byng this term, wanted to put it all into practice. Two dances were performed, "Strip the Willow" and "The Gay Gordons" in traditional kilts and tartans ... ok well the nearest thing! Better yet was Mr Onslow and Miss McHugh joining in for a few turns around the floor! |
