Montreux Christmas Market

On Sunday we went to Montreux to see the Christmas market. There were stalls selling lots of presents and gifts, loads of food stands and a Ferris Wheel.

It was great to see something different and explore more of Switzerland.

Here are some pictures I took:

 

Christmas Gift Boxes

This year we decided to get into the Christmas Spirit early and make Christmas Gift Boxes, which will be delivered to orphanages in Eastern Europe.

We had a list of items to find, then we filled the boxes, wrapped them up, and sent them off. Items included pens, pencils, chocolate, sweets, toys, toothbrushes etc. We are sure that the recipients will be very happy when they unwrap their boxes on Christmas Day!

Here is a picture of all the boxes which were collected – as you can see, everyone did a great job getting involved!

Ho ho ho!!

Christmas in Mies

Today we decorated our house. We also listened to Christmas music.

Now the house looks amazing and we are looking forward to Christmas!

 

Universities!

We’ve had an exciting few days in Mies with university applications!

Natalya has received a conditional offer on the Foundation course at City University London!

Becky has been given a conditional offer to study Landscape Architecture at the University of Sheffield!

Kamila has received a conditional offer for History and Italian at the University of St Andrews!

WELL DONE GIRLIES!!!

We look forward to hearing from all the other universities and to helping all our other girls apply to university.

français

We are excited for next Tuesday!!! We will be practicing our french between each other since the morning until the evening!

We will learn a lot! But prepare yourselves with google translator because there is absolutely no english allowed!
