Sunday today and it is time for our soup.We had a chat with the girls about the importance of eating seasonal vegetables and fruits.They retain more nutrients than their counterparts making them the better choice for your health. Other benefits of eating seasonally : Supports local farmers who choose to farm sustainably and preserves the environment.
We enjoyed a creamy leek soup and olive oil drizzled croutons !!
Certainly tennis is one of our hit weekend activities.With our state-of-the-art indoor court facilities our students enjoy and exercise in safety, protected from weather conditions.
There is one food that definitely unites most of the civilizations of the world: bread.Throughout recorded history it has been a prominent food in large parts of the world and is one of the oldest man-made foods, having been of significant importance to households and often the only food parents could provide to their children in times of despair.
The carbohydrates which are rich provide energy and nourishment just to face the day, they also contain proteins, salts and vitamins essential for the proper functioning of the body.
And what better than homemade whole wheat bread…New Portena bakes!!
Sanny,Becky,Ria,Manya,Katia, Doria and Carina learned the secrets of a good Phat-Thai today in cooking class!!

A very important topic was brought up during our house assembly which is also a part of our wellbeing programme this year.
Adolescence is a period of rapid change —physically, emotionally, and socially—and relationships with friends play an important role in the lives of adolescents as they become increasingly independent , develop their own identity, and grapple with self-esteem.Positive friendships provide youth with companionship, support, and a sense of belonging. They can encourage or reinforce healthy behaviors, and evidence suggests that positive friendships in adolescence can lay the groundwork for successful adult relationships, including romantic relationships.
And at the end each of us had to pick a heart-shaped card with an attribute written on it and hand it to the person we think possesses this quality..a lot of smiles and good vibes from this evening for all of us!!
