The last 4 where quite fun. Wednesday was the 5th of november, it was Guy Fawkes day (never heard of it). It is the day that he carried out the 'Gunpowder Plot' in order to kill the king. Fawkes was captured while he was guarding the gunpowder. He got the death penalty and was hanged on the 31st of january 1606.
After school we played our first hockey match against an other school, our team is not very good and unfortuatly we lost the game by 1-6. Wednesday night was poker night. once in every two weeks a special night is organized by school. I didn't win but I still received a package maltesers. On friday night every one celebrated the 5th of november with fireworks and a traditional bonfire. The fireworks where beautiful, they went on and on with beautiful colours. The bonfire was huge, we could get free hotdogs and drinks which was great beacause our dinner that night was not very good. The most childeren left on friday but a few stayed and we played sardines through the whole building. The next morning we had to get up early because it was rememberence day. At 10:30 chapel started for all the boarders and for the next hour we remebered the Reedonians who died in the 1st and 2nd world war.
