Greek Storytelling and Banquet

On Thursday the 11th of November, we had a Greek storytelling competition. At the finals, we experienced a Greek banquet – within this, we held a storytelling competition. The finalists were : Finlay, Sophia, Natalie B and Katrina. We voted with voting stones – the competitors turned their backs and the audience would place a stone next to the competitor that they thought was the best.  They competed against each other but there was a tie between Finlay and Natalie B! We voted again and Finlay won, 16 stones to 13 stones. Congrats to him.

Remebrance Day at St. Matthews

Today, we remember the people who sacrificed their lives to end wars, so we prayed and sang in their honor.  We also remembered all those animals that helped – the horses who carried our weapons and the dogs who kept out the rats. We made wreaths of poppies to remember the fallen.

House Captains and new House Names!

This year we welcome 8 more House Captains to lead our houses. But. a significant change to the way St. Matthew’s does its houses is that this year we have decided that every year we will choose a different social action project as supposed to having the same social action project every year. Another decision made (which is more permanent that the social action projects changing) is that we’ve chosen new House Names!

They are now:

  • Cecil = Pankhurst
  • Wilberforce = Radacanu
  • Churchill = Rashford
  • Spencer = Attenborough

Our new House Captains are

  • Tilly and Clem of Pankhurst house!
  • Finlay and Sophie of Rashford house!
  • Ryan and Rosie of Attenborough house!
  • Arthur and Katrina of Radacanu house!
