Nugent Pennell -28

NUGENT HOUSE REPORT

Looking forward to this term’s Christmas festivities, Nugent has been as busy and fun as ever...

Imogen Symonds

Talking of evenings, a mid-week quiz night in house got everyone together, eager to have a chance at taking away a prize hamper containing a great selection of tuck foods!

For sport, Nugent battled the elements during a very wet and rainy House Hockey. Nevertheless, with red banners and beanies, we all got behind with supporting and cheering as Nugent placed a strong 3rd overall - but, as always, winning in spirit!

Hockey news doesn't end there: Kristina Duckett, Evie Clayson, Anne Spranger and Izzie Steed are our proud Nugent members of the 1st XI hockey. Kristina and Anne are also completing in the indoor hockey team, recently beating Bedes 2-1 and drew against Ardingly 2-2 and qualifying for the next round of the competition. All are very excited and playing brilliantly. Well done! Coming back from the half term break, we were joined by a new and very energetic member of Nugent, Ace - the Medleycott's new puppy! When he's not chewing slippers, he's putting smiles on faces on drowsy Monday mornings and late evenings.

Most recently, our talented musicians Ella Parker, Selena Brathwaite, Willow McNulty and Alice Lock performed during this year's Live Lounge Concert, keeping up Nugent's great musical legacy.

Excited for House A Cappella later in the term, Nugent will again take to the stage for this competition, stronger than ever.

PENNELL HOUSE REPORT

Prior to term break, Pennell Boys finished the half-term with an (according to our boys) mind-blowing performance at the house singing.

Pennell boys have had a relaxing halfterm break, starting fresh and potent with performances by Tiger Ge and Max Ge, whom both did incredibly at this year ´ s Live Lounge concert!

Another big success was the Watt x Pennell House dinner, where all year groups had great fun. We had a Caesar Salad, followed by delicious fajitas with wedges, and ended the evening with waffles for dessert. We also had, once again, an incredible solo performance from Tiger Ge. We all had a lovely time together and many of us, especially the new boys, could introduce ourselves to the girls. Thanks to Watt who were organising the event!

The Year 9s also did well in the recent house drama, where they played Harry Potter. The audience was amazed and our housemaster, Mr Jordain, as well as our Year 12 directors Zain and Duke, were very happy with our boys' performance. Great job!

Moreover, Pennell boys also enjoyed a trip to the cinema, where we had a great time watching "Black Panther" . Tom D. Müller-Broich
