We had a smooth journey back. There was one sticky moment when delicate negotiations were required to deal with a nasty hostage situation. Frog and Amber had been kidnapped. After careful negotiation a swap of hostages was arranged and the animals were very relieved to be back with their owners, Murrzo and Brownie. The situation arose over attempts by Nevis to take a photo of Murrzo. Murrzo was having none of it.
Benmore was an amazing experience for us all. The class behaved brilliantly, tried hard and had a lot of fun. They kept quiet in dorms when they were told to (most of the time), ate well and showed a lot of maturity and independence. Parents, you can be proud of them. And now it's time for the awards ceremony:
The disco award goes to Milz. The yacking award is shared between Izzy, Kizzy and Pony. The tidy dorm award goes to all the boys. The soaking award goes to Ponakins. Moonbeam gets the sunken boot prize. Fets gets the marathon award for the most miles walked back and forth along the boys' corridor. Must tire you out because you also get the best sleeper award. Squiddy - you get the SAS award for your dive roll across the bed in a black balaclava. The whole of the horse dorm get the random giggling AND the torches-after-lights-out award. The big girls' dorm get the prize for unknowingly sharing the most class gossip and secrets with Mr Devereux by chatting loudly after lights out when he was outside in the corridor. Bee gets the 'Did you know tomorrow's my birthday?' award. Fish gets the volume award (you've lost first place, Bizz!). You also get the vertical take-off award for your levitation at the end of the ghost story. Brownie gets an award for not being able to keep on a plaster on a knee for more that 5 minutes. Dizzee and Bizz share the cool hat award. Tashmeer gets the yacking award for the boys' dorms. Nonny gets the tennis balls in bizarre places award. Nevis, Moonbeam, Star and Brownie share the jumble award for their ideas about packing. Rascal gets the ambassador award for most contact with Mauricewood. Menace gets the speaking diary award - your comments were so you! Captain Chaos and Nonny get the hairbrush award. Murrzo, of course, gets the camera-shy award. And Swagger, you get the organisation award for looking after your dorm so well.
Well done, guys! See you on Monday.
