Fifty:50

Based on a popular children's gameshow, Fifty:50 pitches our two teams, The Lions and The Dragons in direct competition with each other. They compete in mini games, for points that can help them to win the night's competition and that can be added to the overall weekly competition totals. Each student participates in at least one game throughout the evening and they are randomly selected for each game. The first game was a seated tug of war which was incredible tense. This was followed by a pairs event. a pair of students from each team had to burst as many balloons as possible using only their bottoms. Much bottom bouncing later the Lions had slipped into the lead. The mummifying round was so close that it was decided by the toss of a coin and the Dragons re-entered the race for the points. The water balloon distance catching competition was incredibly tight And you can imagine exactly how this ended! The three legged relay race was hard fought

Uppingham really has got a lot of talent

One of the best nights of every Discovery Summer School has to be the Talent Show. Tonight's competition was no different and it filled all the staff with incredible pride that so many of our amazing students had the courage to stand up, perform and receive the accolades of their new friends. Dancing, singing, playing the piano or rapping, all of our participants (except maybe our six new 'female' Student Hosts) showed a huge amount of talent and courage this evening and hopefully you will agree that they all deserve a massive congratulations all around, especially those performing in public for the very first time!
