ABBERLEY ADVENTURES
7
Boarding
It has been another fun-filled term in the boarding house with some wonderful weekend activities enjoyed by many! From Football Zorbing to Gamewagon to Easter Egg Hunts, the children have had huge amounts of fun. The programme for next term is now ready, and remember, these weekends are open to everyone in the Prep School to take part in if they want to stay in for a weekend!
Saturday 23rd April St George’s Day Stocks and Wrecking Ball Fun! Sunday 24th April The Habberley Trail Trip
Ever fancied throwing wet sponges at Mr Besley’s and Mr Dunham’s heads? Well, why not come along to our St George’s Day evening and see them and other teachers in THE STOCKS, taking one for the team! We also have a fabulous medieval themed wrecking ball inflatable, which has been hired for the night. On Sunday we are visiting the Habberley Trail for a day of being outside, roaming the Habberley route and partaking in a variety of games and activities along the way.
Saturday 7th May Movie Night Sunday 8th May Nerf Siege
Saturday will involve movie, popcorn and ice cream and the latest DVD releases. On Sunday, the cricket pavilion will become a nerf fortress with a defending team and an attacking team. Who will reign victorious?
Saturday 14th May Silly Olympics
Sunday 15th May Go-Ape, Wyre Forest Trip
(additional £20 charge per person)
A personal favourite, the Silly Olympics makes a welcome return to the weekend programme, with some ridiculous team and individual ‘sporty challenges’ to take part in and trophies to be won! On Sunday we are visiting Go-Ape in the Wyre Forest for a Tree-Top Adventure. There is an additional entry fee of £20 per person for this weekend.
Saturday 21st May Pizza and Quiz Night
Sunday 22nd May Shooting4Fun Laser Tag in the School Woods
Saturday will involve a team quiz night complete with pizzas galore! One of last year’s highlights was when we welcomed Shooting4Fun to school for some laser tag games in the school woods. We are delighted to be welcoming Mark back to school for another Sunday of laser tag games. Numbers are limited for this weekend so sign up early!
Saturday 11th June Tropical Summer Party Sunday 12th June Inflatable Fun
The annual Tropical Summer Party returns to Abberley! An evening of tropical fun and dancing. Who will win the Hoola competition? Who will master the Limbo? Time to dust off those horrific Hawaiin Shirts and get ready to dance the night away. On Sunday we will enjoy Gladiator Jousting, a GIANT Slide and a Party Obstacle Course, provided by NC Inflatables. Fun, fun, fun!
Saturday 25th June Sunday 26th June
Fete aftermath
Trip To Worcester
(additional £20 charge per person)
After a busy Saturday with our Summer Fete, we will be spending time in Worcester on Sunday, enjoying the final weekend of the academic year with a bit of freedom to explore the city centre. There will be an additional charge of £20 per pupil to be used as spending money in town.
House Nights during the Summer Term
We have enjoyed some fun House Nights this term with discos, quizzes, German Spotlight, Pamper Nights etc. Next Term we return to a firm favourite among all boarders, the Wednesday Night BBQ. Every Wednesday we will have a BBQ on the Summer House Lawn and spend some time outside in the grounds, playing cricket and golf and just having a chill with music. If you are contemplating starting boarding and are nervous about it then a Wednesday would be a good starting point as these are a real highlight of the year for the boarding house.
As ever, if you are wanting to sign up to do any boarding and/or take part in our weekend activities then please email toby.dunham@abberleyhall.co.uk. The earlier the better to book places in boarding as the Summer Term fills up fast!
