ASHDOWN'S CALL MY BLUFF
Saturday 19 January 2008

On Saturday, the whole school congregated in the theatre for a patrol game of Call My Bluff. We split up into our separate patrols and went into our corners of the theatre. The presenters - which were Mr Mason, Mr Stanton and Mr Gilsenan - were cheered in to the theatre. The patrols were then given five sheets each with their year group’s number on it.

The game begun. The presenters said what they had to and we put the sheets into the box that the rest of the year had voted for. We each took it in turns to have the honour of carrying the sheet down to the foot of the stage where the great presenters towered over us. This process went on many times until the game had finished and the scores were completed. The Rhinos - even after having two points deducted off their score for cheating - won, the mighty Hippos came second, the Eles came third and the Kangs came last. Altogether, it was a very enjoyable evening, and I'd like to thank all of the teachers who helped to put it together.

On Saturday 19th at Ashdown House School each patrol (The Eles, Rhinos, Kangs, and the Hippos) participated in “Call My Bluff.” We all sat in our separate patrols, and years in the theatre, and clapped when the contestants, Mr. Gilsenan, Mr. Mason, and last but not least Mr. Stanton. Then there was Mr. Taylor, the compare.

The object of the game was to guess which teacher was telling the truth, or bluffing about their definition for the unusual words, being presented on a slideshow by Mr. I.C.T (Mr. de Moraville)

Everyone was rushing around the place and trying to think which teacher wasn’t bluffing. Once we had settled down into our seats the compare i.e. Mr. Taylor told the contestants to reveal whether they were bluffing or telling the truth.

Most of the patrol years got the correct answer so loads of people were jumping out of their seats with joy.

After about 10 rounds the game had finished.

Finally it was time for the final results, everyone wrecking with nervousness……….. The Rhinos had won!

We all had an excellent time, and look forward to doing it next year!
