Day 3 - Grace's Birthday

We have to get up a little earlier than the boarders-5:30am (1:30am in England) and so we barely have time for breakfast. We arrived at school at about half past seven and fortunately we are both in the same house - New House (not just for boys, unlike New House at home). First we had a free lesson so Grace could open her presents with her friends. Then we had an unusually entertaining history lesson followed by Biology which is good as we are in the same science sets.

At break all of us lay sunbathing in Repton circle, drinking our cartons of juice! This was then followed by double Chemistry, but unfortunately we "weren't needed" as they were doing an ISA and so we got a free double period! We then joined up with Sharples and Fraser for PE which was interesting, but very similar to pur PE lessons back in England. Lunch finally came and we all sat together accompanied by Asad (our new found friend on the exchange). He seemed to liven up the table as Caitlin burst out in fits of laughter which everyone found very amusing - we think Asad was rather scared. Asad began to perform a "magic trick" but it was merely a distraction so that Grace would not notice that Mr Clark and Miss Hill had prepared a birthday cake for her.

All of us had English after lunch, although we are all in different sets, followed by maths which as there were six of us in one set we were told to go to the library as there wasn't enough room. After school we all had activities, apart from Charlie and Caitlin who went home to go to the cinema together. Sharples and Grace had netball in the scorching hot sun and were asked to take part in the netball match on Wednesday, along with the other girls. We all went home at around five.
