Weekends have a relaxed feel, a home from home.

This Sunday our girls after a leisurely and delicious brunch,enjoyed among others, crossfit,climbing ,bodyshaping and snow hiking with Huskies.

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!!
