Our teams from Saturday were joined by a second boys team of Jake Roper, Charlie Barker and newly selected Snowsport England Freestyle squad member Harry Croft. They produced 5 good runs between them out of 6, but one mistake meant no finishing position. The boys first team all stepped up their levels from Saturday and retained the Open English title by a clear margin. The girls team skied well and finished 7 th meaning both teams have qualified for the British finals in Wales in November. In the individual competition, Antonia led after run 1 and when put under pressure in run 2 put down the fastest time of the day by a good margin to retain her individual female title.

It was an evening to remember for the audience at last night’s Informal Concert featuring pupils from Lower 1 and Upper 1. Some pupils were performing their pieces for the very first time and what a concert they delivered! Full of excitement and enthusiasm and some truly breathtaking performances. Improvised piano pieces sat alongside brand new written songs, Beethoven alongside Bruno Mars and even an epic drum version of Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall! It was wonderful to see such confidence in the children, performing with such passion and presence. Every pupil sparkled and shone and enchanted the audience.  Congratulations to everyone who performed rounding off the Informal Concerts for the Michaelmas Term.

On Wednesday 9 October, the Lower School celebrated National Bring Your Bear to School Day. Pupils arrived with their favourite cuddly toys, turning the library into a temporary toy shop! From classic teddy bears to unique cuddlies like axolotls, and even Pikachu, there was no shortage of adorable friends to share the day. At lunchtime, the library became a cosy haven for students and their stuffed animals. Pupils gathered to snuggle up with their bears while enjoying a good book, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It was a perfect blend of comfort and reading—a day that highlighted the joy of both literacy and friendship.

"Being chair of the Close Conversations podcast was by far the highlight of the Lower 6th Year. Taking over from the extremely successful year prior, the pressure was high to continue the standard, but I am glad to say that I believe we did this with resounding success. We began by recording shorter episodes, touching on events throughout the year, including foundation of different societies, such as the Wellington Geo-Politics Society, and Charitable events, such as Challenge 29, whereby participants would challenge themselves to 29 different things throughout the month of February. As a result, this saw many, both pupils and staff, choose to get more involved in these events throughout the year. Moving Further into the term, we slowly extended the lengths of our episodes, to be more in depth and cover a range of both studio and in person interviews. Consequently, we expanded out topic areas into the wide range of sports and their fixtures played here at Norwich School, our first of which was covering the much-anticipated hocky block fixture against Gresham’s. However, this swiftly expanded, as we were lucky enough to interview members of the Dance team, surrounding the Senior Dance Festival, and members of the Cricket First Team, surrounding their Tour in South Africa. As we entered the hight of the school year, there were a number of events to be covered. Most notably, both the Annual School Cup Run, and the Senior play: Clue, took place. Despite the obvious mixed feelings towards Cup Run, the rest of the of the Close Conversations team and I were able to get a plethora of interviews on the day, as well as previous winners Bea Wells and Nick Conway in the studio for a more in-depth discussion about the event and their feelings towards the event as a whole. As a result, we were able to put together what is my personal favourite episode of the year, as well as the longest. Overall, as previously stated, being Chair of the Close Conversations podcast was by far the highlight of my Lower 6th year, having strongly influenced my university degree choice, of media and communications. Despite the challenges faced of organising interviews, tireless editing, and the radio room going under reconstruction in the Trinity Term, resulting in some creative solutions to keep the podcast up and running, I could not have asked for a greater experience, or a greater team. I am so thankful for the opportunity to have taken on such as role and would highly recommend it to anyone who has the chance." - Chris Doylend, U6
