Ripon Cathedral School Update
Week ending Friday 15th June 2018
Bienvenidos
This week we welcomed children and staff from our partner school CEIP Fray Juan de la Cruz, Aneja, Segovia. It is a real community event. The children are staying at Guide HQ, Hazel House and sleeping on camp beds provided by 21 Engineers. On Thursday, they spent a day in school learning what an English school is like and making friends. On Friday the children walked to Fountains Abbey and had a lunchtime picnic at Studley. They return to Spain next Wednesday but in the meantime have a packed programme, including a visit to the Forbidden Corner on Monday. We'll give you a further update next week.
Welcome back Mr Dan!
The Big Write
Silence filled the stadium, the only thing I could hear was the whirling, wispy wind above me in the night sky. Anticipating glory and fearing guilt, goose bumps rose upon my back and spine. The wind was harder to hear now as sweat poured down my body like a waterfall pouring down into a river.
I smelt the fresh, well cut grass that has been torn up by the vicious studs that lay beneath the player’s boots. I tasted the cold breath of the fans that surrounded me. I couldn’t let them down.
I had to forget my fears, it was time. I anxiously stepped up to take the penalty. I heard that fans roar, I ran up, I struck the ball, I closed my eyes… where did it go?
Looking forward to the summer at Oscar's!
