Pizza with Year 9

The Year 10 and Year 11 pupils went ice skating on Tuesday evening whilst Mr Knowelden and I took all the Year 9s out for an excellent pizza.  It was a restaurant we hadn't tried before and we were really impressed; the service was very rapid and the pizzas were excellent.

More advanced skiing

Whilst I was out with the beginners groups, Mr Shambrook was off up the mountains with one of our more advanced groups and sent me these photos.

Civilised skiing

This afternoon I went for a very civilised gentle but productive skiing session with Ben, Joseph and Jos.  Bernard, the excellent instructor helped the boys with their snowplough technique and Jos and I practised our parallel turns.  The sun was shining and the pistes were not at all busy.

Quiz time

We had a quiz after supper, won by a team of Year 11 boys.  The staff team came third.

Photos from Miss Kendrick & Mr Shambrook

Miss Kendrick took some shots whilst out with some beginners this afternoon and Mr Shambrook took a shot of our top pro skiers, Ralph and Max on the chairlift.  Great conditions and fantastic snow once again.

Today with the beginners

We have a very large group of around 20 beginners this year, which is great to see.  They made great progress this morning and by the end of the afternoon were using a button lift and doing a slalom down a real piste.  Keen to see what tomorrow brings.

On the piste!

A lovely morning out on the mountain, excellent snow conditions.  These are the beginners doing their first exercise.
