Leon is definitely motivated to learn how to skate and to be a good skateboarder, so he is taking his physical training seriously. Bravo Leon we are very proud of your attitude and determination.

The boys love to skate but safety first, we only do skateboarding in a secure area off the streets. We are teaching them the basics and they show very good skills. So this was only the first session, however, there will be more…

First day snowing in CDL has been very special for our boys, they enjoyed a lot making snowballs, drawing on the tennis court and even trying to eat the snow flakes falling on their heads. Definitely an unforgettable day for them.

Our boys were very motivated to bake Champs des Bois Cake today. Like on the Master Chef TV show the time flew by so fast that we had to run to hand in our cake to the judges before the time was up. Such a fun time for them! We are very proud of ours little chefs and of the delicious cake that they prepared.

Being a child can be stressful! The Champs des Bois Team have prepared a few relaxation and anti-stress sessions to help them unwind. The first session was focused around Kevin and Ivor who both had a bad day full of emotions and anxiety. They enjoyed the first relaxation video before bed and it helped put their minds at ease, reflect on their behaviour, and understand emotions and concerns that they had been feeling. This first session was a success for them…their mood improved radically and they fell asleep pleasantly.We are very pleased to see the good effect it has had on them, so we can’t wait for the next session.  SWEET DREAMS BOYS!

The name Jack O’Lantern is tied to the Irish legend of Stingy Jack, a drunkard who bargains with Satan and is doomed to roam the Earth with only a hollowed turnip to light his way. Spooky!

Zhiyu came back from the Juventus Camp he went to during the October break even better that he already was.

His skills have improved and we are very proud of our little soccer player.

We will keep training him to keep up his work-rate and technique!

After welcoming back our students   we were still missing one boy. Zhyiu arrived early this morning and look how excited his house-mates were to see him! It’s so great to have a full house again!

Three of the boys have been enjoying and showing off their woodcrafting skills this Saturday. They started the lesson with some theory and safety rules which will help them plan and develop their own projects. They were also practicing different techniques of cutting wood with different tools.
