Aerobics?. I hate aerobics. I had to do aerobics for a term here for p.e and I thought it was awful. I somehow don't think I'll take it on. They would have to drag me kicking and screaming to do that. Hockey on the other hand, I'm fair at that.

Setting? I think it was by the '70s anyway.

Yes Andrew, I think you are correct..... I find it most strange that I picked the word in my post yet could not remember it as the name.
John... going OT again - sorry.

I would not worry about going OT, I think it is all grist to Gemma's mill (whatever that means)

I did swimming for Grecians PE, only the lifeguards supervised so you could spend half your time in the sauna....!

Sauna

As you may have read, in our day we were considered fortunate to be able to take a bath

Will the sauna be available on Old Blues' Day? See you there, girls; thought I'd book a manicure mid afternoon?

Excitedly

I don't know what is on offer for afternoon activities, but if you're musical then band and chapel choir (excellent trips out of school), or if you're a budding thesp then the theatre is fab. Whatever you're 'thing', you'll be able to indulge it at CH.

one of the best afternoon activites was watching the 1st and 2nd XV play Rugby! As i was in Grecians West the 1st XV pitch was literally out the back door! Used to stroll across with cup of tea and watch the matches!

I used to do Community Service (on my GE I think) on a Weds afternoon. We used to go to an old peoples home for a couple of hours and help with teas etc and just chat or whatever. I don't think we had to do anything on the Grecians - I don't recall doing anything anyway

I can just imagine Mrs C firing up her investigative mind as I type !!

she probably has a good idea although this male teacher left the school while ago and i have mentioned my adoration for him on a thread about best teachers!

Sauna. hmmmm

I'm thinking about taking russian, aswell as Italian. Though it may be a little much since I'm taking Latin as an A level.

( Handed in my d.t project today, I am delerious with happiness )

Will I be taught to march?. I did Air Cadets and from what I can see from the marching, they do it differently so, will I be taught to march or will I have to fumble along for a bit until I manage to seam in perfectly?.

I may carry on the tradition of watching the Rugby matches

but I shall not commit to anything lest people think I am slightly weird. They will realise that by the time I go there but it will be nice not to have a few people thinking I am weird.
