This has been an absolutely brilliant week, just so much fun. You get on with each other so well and that was lovely to see, especially in small groups! My small group, the God Squad, was hilarious, full of laughter and fun, and working with you was a pleasure. I really enjoyed mealtimes as you were all so willing to help, and the conversations were never boring! Working in the field with Mike Pilling for Focus was certainly challenging but you met it head on and made it a lot of fun, and a lot of the time, made it look really easy! You met everything we did with enthusiasm and energy, and that is what helped make this week so brilliant and totally unforgettable! I wish you all the best with next year and your GCSE’s. thanks for an amazing week.

I was so excited to be having my old school up and you didn’t disappoint! Right from the word go you were well up for everything and just got stuck in! A special hello to my small group, something to do with ‘Bananas in pyjamas….’ longest name ever! Thank you for making it such a special week and you are certainly one of the giggliest and random groups that I’ve ever had, so thank you for all the laughs and all the amazing memories you’ve left me with. You were our last full week senior group and really were the best that we could have asked for.
One of the highlights of the week for me was writing the affirmations on Friday morning. You all wrote such individual things and really thought about each person, so thanks for making this so easy. It really paid off because it made for a really special atmosphere when we read them out later.
Mass also was fantastic, and the roleplays were awesome. Well done to my small group for just getting stuck in with it and doing it all yourself without me even needing to say anything at all!
So good luck with the rest of Becket and thank you for making it so special.
Hopefully see some of you up for mass sometime.
Take care

Hey guys! what a week ey? I had a really great time we had lots to do and as our last full week year 9s you did not disappoint. From the first activity with the team challenges I had lots of fun! You all took them in your stride and then we finished with a lovely night prayer. Tuesday we made our awesome masks which looked amazing so well done there. Then we had a lovely walk and I retold a beautiful story in the clearing for a few of you hehe! Tuesday night was lovely and you all kept a beautiful atmosphere too. Wednesday was team building day and I really enjoyed myself and thought you took a lot from it so a big well done. Thursdays bee session was fun as was the talent show which was amazing so well done! Thanks for lots of laughs and memories! Take Care and God bless

Hello everybody! Sorry this one is a bit late, but what an absoultely amazing week we have had together, I loved every single minute of it, from the moment you guys got here I knew it would be a special week! Even though I was asked if my placement at the Briars was court ordered…good fun!
But seriously, being our last senior gorup week long programme, you really made it special for the team and I, with your enthiusiasm, sense of fun and your amazing senses of humour and personalities. You are a fanastatic year group, and a great example to set for younger years!
We got up to alot of sick activites, alot of which was in our small groups, big shout out to my small group; GRASS! You guys were amazing, from the moment we first met we all got on so well, we pure chilled alot of the time chatting away and listening to some ‘banging tunes!’ But also got involved with things like our drama for Morning Prayer and mass, both of which were sicccck! And also rebuilding our amazingly attractive plant pot, which was maybe unfixable! You were really comfortable with each other especially in our sharing sheet which made me feel really welcome and involved.
Our celebration of Mass on Thursday was awesome! All the groups did amazingly well to prepare our mass, and also the nights celebrations that continued were great fun. Affirmations on Sunday were amazing, as you guys really got into it and that was so good to see!
Overall, an absoutely quality week, so keep smiling and doing what you do!
God Bless,
