Hectic week.

I think I'm not alone in welcoming a chance to catch some breath this weekend. Since Field Day on Tuesday, and the departure of the inspectors on Wednesday, Burr boys have been:

• rowing in the National Schools Head;
• helping time the international Womens' Head race today;
• performing in the Spring Concert on Thursday;
• getting ready for the Queen Anne's Ball tonight;
• playing hockey all over the place;
• trialling a new French assessment scheme for NFER
• having career advice interviews (I'm not sure how many boys were really told they'd make good spies - and the one said to be good at surveillance turned out to have advised that he'd make a good chartered surveyor)
• being innoculated against a range of grim diseases;
• attending a History Society Lecture on recessions;
• enjoying a year 9 social at Queen Anne's;
• planning a presentation on launching a Beagling Society (well done Fergus);
• monitoring an experiment on the volume of the church bells, with and without the new shutters closed;
• guiding visitors round for today's Open Morning;
• celebrating George's success with his English Exam
• celebrating some excellent A level module results - especially by Tom Abbott, Alex Baker, Cornel Mgbangson, Curtis Tseng (two more As), Ollie Watkins-Murphy (A in English) and Aless Williams;
• being reading champions - after last week's visit to Brentford FC (well done Ed Sims);

And probably a lot more that I have yet to find out about.

One or two of us had a moment to enjoy the daffodils coming out in the sunshine.

So Happy Mothers' Day to all Burr Mums for tomorrow !
