Mrs Hacker's Highlights

As we come to the end of a fabulous week it is time to reflect on some highlights.  The resort here at Sauze is superb, perfect for both beginners and more advanced skiers.  The weather has been excellent with just one blip yesterday; we have been piling on the sun cream and sunning ourselves at lunchtime.
The food has been plentiful to say the least.  Pasta, pasta, pizza, chips, meat, endless puddings and ice cream, crepes and more pasta.  Stupidly I believed that an activity holiday would mean I would lose weight, sadly no!
Skiing has been excellent, a hesitant start by me, leading to more adventurous pootling along which suited me just fine!
The real highlight has been the pupils!  On a personal note I have been a very proud Mummy, seeing Erin ski for the first time and loving it!  However our adoptive children for the week have been exceptional.  Our pupils at Rookwood never cease to amaze me with their good humour and exceptional support for one another.  It is the only school trip where Year 6 pupils compete with Year 11's, both on the slope and in the disco!  
Overall a very successful trip, with excellent staff. In particular huge thanks should go to Miss Brown, our esteemed leader!  
Happy holidays,

Mrs Hacker x
