It is, of course, a great idea for the photography activity, and today the weather was particularly benevolent, with both sunshine and interesting clouds.

Over the next few days there will be a new picture. H Vernau (13.00), helped by experienced photographer O Gillen-Toon (11.00) bravely ventured to the Athletics, and took pictures of the long jump practice. They are particularly effective because the camera was low down.

Now for a rather more fun picture, stressing the enjoyable nature of Caldicott activities. Of course, on the competitive athletics field Caldicott is without peer! However, A Spratling, below, obviously wants a bit of fun too.

Here is the menu: Roast pork & crackling, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, Yorkshire pudding, cabbage, gravy & apple sauce, cauliflower cheese, followed by Old English Trifle.

The Assembly began with four boys (T Ahmed, Y Akhtar, A Willford & G Peel) describing the visit of 5M to Helen and Douglas House. Their complete report will be published in this term's magazine; for the moment, here is a picture of the boys in Assembly. They are standing, on the left.

After the Cricket results had been given out by Mr Rich, and J Breeden (108) had shaken the Headmaster's hand, Mr Smith told the boys that there would be School Council meeting on Monday. This should not involve any catering issues, as there is a Catering Committee for that (names in the Calendar).

He also reminded day boys that they MUST check out with someone on latch days. It can be as normal or, if it is a late match, with the member of staff taking the team.

Finally, he stressed the importance of two words: Thank you. This is a great Caldicott tradition, and it impressed Mr Smith in his short time here. He finished by saying it was the most improtant thing he was telling them that day.

Despite the rain in the morning, most matches went ahead in what was often a sunny - and always a dry - afternoon. The picture below shows J Breeden batting. I think that this one went for 4,a nd he went on to get the term's first century - 108.
