Snow one day...Sunshine the next!

It's not surprising that the British are teased for always talking about the weather - there can't be many places that have temperatures close to zero bringing snow one evening at the start of term at the end of April, and then literally within 24 hours temperatures soaring into the twenties and students  sunbathing on the grass!  Ski hats and woolly gloves one day, swimming costumes and sun cream the next!

Anyone for a snow ball fight?!

Sunshine was celebrated with strawberries and ice cream!

Fun and Games to end the term

The competitive spirit between everyone (including staff!) was palpable as we all enjoyed highly physical rounds of Dodgeball for our end of term House entertainment with Hall house!  Mixed teams of all ages took on each other with 2 minute games and, despite much shouting and shrieking as people dodged and dived the ferociously flying balls, no one was injured!  Year 13s took great delight in completely overpowering staff in a game to round off the evening!

House Cross Country Competition

The weather was kind for today's House Cross Country competition.  Thanks to the Spring sunshine, both runners and spectators were able to enjoy the whole school event which was a lovely way to end our term.  It was great to see so many Fonthill girls taking part and entering into the spirit of the event, either as an elite runner and impressing spectators with their finishing time, or as a more relaxed competitor and rising to the occasion of this year's Safari fancy dress theme!

Congratulations to Izzy for winning Bronze in the Year 9 race, to Bridie for winning Gold in the Year 10 race, and to Ella and Liv finishing within the top 10 in the Senior Girls' race.

Bridie ahead of the pack right from the start!

I spy the world's fastest elephant!

Elmer?!

Great to see so many teachers taking part too!

Go Izzy Go for that medal!

Elmer is loving the spring sunshine!

Impressive - Medha still fresh as a daisy on her second time round course!

Despite mud bath tumble, Tash determined to cross finish line!
