February already?

Really? Almost half term already? Good grief...where has the half term gone too? The seniors are committing their hearts and souls into their rehearsals for 'Oliver', which has just four weeks to go until our first dress rehearsal! Time seems to be flying and there is never a quiet or dull moment: the children are considering themselves, whilst enjoying their food glorious food before they pick your pockets!

And what about the rest of Drake? How have they got on this first half term? Well...after the first two weeks...they were in second place to another house...but then two weeks ago, they pulled together as a team and are now leading in the stars and minuses. This week we had a junior who beat everyone in the house with a terrific score! Well done to Ferdinand: your house is proud of you. But also congratulations to the other children who have achieved high scores this week: Toby and Millie. Well done.

Sport: mixed bag of sports results so far this term. 3rd in the senior house rugby (it was a bitterly cold day and we suffered more than our fair share of injuries that afternoon), 2nd in the middle house rugby BUT we won the junior hockey and also we won the junior house rugby. Both teams are clearly forces to be reckoned with. Congrats to all of our teams and huge thanks for your commitment to Drake.
