Banda Day, Open Day, and an "Exeat"

Last Wednesday was the return fixture with Banda, at Banda, and not only were all the hockey teams playing at Banda, but the epic girls squash team were also playing. It was yet another boiling hot day, and the squash was to be played at 1pm..the hottest part of the day. Nonetheless, we put up a great fight, but sadly lost 4-2 in matches. My first seed injured herself in her first game, which immediately ruled her out from winning. Gutted. All the hockey teams put up a good fight, and were extremely closely contested. A good day out.
On Friday, it was the open day, which consisted of both Boats and the Swimming Gala. There were, however, events on the previous day. There was diving and the long plunge. I think most of you should know what diving consists of, but not many will be familiar with the long plunge! This is basically where one jumps from the starting blocks, and glides as far as he/she can, without moving. Great competition.
The swimming gala is all house based, and because I am affiliated with the house called Fosters, we inevitably won the overall competition...not that I'm competitive! After the swimming, not much else happened. We (the gaps) simply wonder around making sure no one is getting up to anything TOO dangerous. In the evening, Jack Chat organised a school quiz in the sports hall, for the year 5s and above, which was very amusing.
There was an exeat last weekend, but is was pretty much just a weekend off. Was really chilled out though, as we all chilled out by the pool, played some tennis, and slept! My perfect weekend.
