Hard Rock Cafe - New York

After Billy Elliot we had booked a meal at Hard Rock Cafe. It was Chloe Sunderlands birthday so some of the girls organised balloons and banners as well as a cake from the hard rock cafe.

Unbeknown to all the girls Chloe Robinson was heading out to New York for her birthday. We had organised for her to meet up with us for the meal. The girls were really surprised as was Chloe Robinson. They all seemed to have a great meal and a great time.

Mr Scholfield did end up putting his foot in it though at the end of the night. Chloe Robinsons trip is a complete surprise, including everything she is going to be doing here. He kindly asked if she had been on her helicopter ride?! To which Chloe and her mums face was a picture! A big faux pas there Mr S!

Billy Elliot on Broadway

We headed into the city where some the girls went to the guggenheim art museum. The rest had some more shopping time.

Thanks to the Nicholsons we got to Billy E on time. We thought the start was 2.30pm it was in fact 2pm... so a quick phonecall from Katie provoked a mad rush down to Times Square where we all meeting.

The show itself was fantastic all the girls seemed to enjoy it... I even caught Rachael Dent singing one of the songs in the corridor this morning!

Alex Jackson took this photo in central park.... She insists it is one of her favourites of the teachers... She wanted it to go on the blog.. Any good captions???

Tuesday Game vs Huntington School

We arrived at Huntington around 4pm and it was very cold! The 2nd XI girls played first. It was a very even game, there was plenty of battling going on around the field we finished off with a fitting win! 1-0 Emma Steer was the goal scorer!

The 1st XI then played their game. Again it was a tightly fought game, however the Silcoates girls had the upper hand all the way through the game and played some excellent hockey. The girls won 3-0 with Hayley Barrett scoring 2 of the goals and Olivia Oldroyd scoring one.

A great win for both teams will inject confidence going into the final games on Thursday.

Well Done Girls!!

Bowling

We went bowling before the game on Tuesday. All the girls put a dollar on for the person with the highest scores. Sally Hall and Hayley Barratt won with 139 and 136.

The adults put $2 in each and Mr Barratt flew ahead and even bagged a turkey on the way... with a score of 163 (I think).

Just to let you all know Miss Wardlaw did beat Mr Scholfield too!! He wasn't very happy!

Yankees

We took the subway to 161st Street to the Yankee stadium. We did have trouble with Alex Jacksons ticket swiping skills so Graham Barratt kindly offered to jump the barrier in order to avoid buying another ticket.

We all enjoyed the game, as well as the entertaining crowd. The Yankees won 4-3 against Minnesota Twins. We were all given a free hat too.
