BOARDING
ORCHARD There are four ‘Lyndy’ boarders in Orchard: Charlotte Pearman (5jz), Charlotte Tucker-Lowe (6jz), Jasmin Donnelly (5jx) and Issy Knight (6jx). Here are a few of our comments about life in junior boarding!

e get assigned our prep on weekdays. After Prep we have a short, fun activity and then go up to prepare for bed. Mrs Midwinter always helps us and cheers us up with stories about The Fair Orchard Maidens. She is the Learnéd Weather Forecaster! At weekends, we have a range of different activities on Saturdays (with the Lyndhurst teachers) and on Sundays (with the whole of Orchard). We like art and craft, the high ropes course, dry slope skiing, the cinema and Waterworld. Overall, boarding is fun but can be challenging at times.
I am enjoying boarding; though I am sad because I had to leave my old friends, I have made new ones, writes Rebecca Witty (1WIL). I like the bedrooms because they have plenty of room. I also like the fact that we have a dog in the house. I love dogs!
