X marks the spot

By Toutatis Dan is 10! X!!!! (in homage to Asterix)

... and X marks the spot where the cake sank thanks to some interesting power supply fluctuations at the lock that day...

Rugby World Cup chez nous

Last Friday, on the eve of the quarter-final clash between England and France, Callum wore his Number 10 England rugby shirt to school. The Headmaster is a big rugby fan (and a closet anglophile) and promised that he would wear his England rugby shirt to school the following Monday. He would wear it as a sign of mockery to whichever side had lost.
Saturday was a disaster for England. Both boys showed concern about what they should wear to school on Monday (remember - there is no uniform).
Monday morning arrived and the boys walked into school and were greeted by their Headmaster wearing his England shirt and a very very big smile. Callum's choice of uniform soon wiped that away!

The Headmaster is also Dan's class teacher. The morning's lessons were peppered with rugby remarks and the Head and Dan even performed the Haka infront of the rest of the class who remained bemused by the whole thing.

Luckily Dan put his Headmaster in his place by saying, "Souviens-toi de Six Pays, Monsieur Martin!" (translates as "Don't forget the Six Nations!)

Good luck on Saturday to Wales. We'll be cheering from here.
