SIBFORD BOARDING The Newsletter from the Boarding Community June 8th 2020
VIEWS FROM FELL: Just across the field from Margaret Fell, the views open up for miles. On clear days you can see the Cotswold landmark, Broadway Tower, on the crest of the hills on the horizon
BACK TO SCHOOL News as boarding goes temporarily online Whilst we have been running meetings for boarders through the holidays as well, it was nice to see everyone checking in with each other on our forums on Monday morning as our online school returned to action. Of course, this would normally be a time when we would welcome our boarders back to the buildings and we look forward to a time when we can do that very much indeed. However, we are delighted to be making regular, weekly contact with the majority of our boarders and those who make our live meetings will be able to attest to the fun, support and laughter that is available in our 'virtual boarding' world.
COMMUNITY SPIRIT
SUMMER STORM: A weather front lines up down the passage between DT and the science block, with heavy raindrops falling in the sunlight.
Updates from our online world As always our virtual boarding world has been a busy place this week and we have been heartened by the interactions on our forums and in our online meetings. The Fielding House meeting this week, for example, discussed a range of topics - from bears to the national dish of Brazil and it was wonderful to see everyone in such good spirits at the start of this half-term. Monday marks the first return to the houses of a student since our buildings closed. Through strict prior arrangement, the students leaving us can collect their belongings, and it will be great to be able to support the students in person. Fielding House are preparing their end of year collage - with last year's pictured, right. If you have any pictures you would like included in the 2019/2020 version, please get in touch with Michael Maguire or Bunny Baker this week!
FIELDING FLASHBACK The class of 2018/2019. We are making our collage of some of our experiences in the house this year and enjoyed looking at our memories from last year. It is wonderful to reflect upon the great moments we have together in Fielding!
We wish our whole boarding community the very best in these times and reiterate that we are always here for you. To see what we are up to, please visit our Twitter page for regular updates: @SibfordBoarding
