We made cupcakes with coke a cola in our cooking class! They were so tasty that we ate so many cupcakes! We were very happy afterwards! (Ornella G8)

Today it is International Women’s Day and our tutor Joanne gave us a lot of tasty food and we were so happy that when she opened her eyes again a minute later, no food was left on the table! Then she gave us the good news from Mr Usher that he said our whole boarding house is getting new furniture for all our rooms! We are very excited! But now we are packing up our rooms a little bit over the weekend and throwing away anything we don’t need anymore  so that we are ready for the Easter holiday when it will all be changed! We will show you more photos of our new rooms after the holidays!

Every Saturday morning we have the option of going to play golf and today was the first day that Yuliya and I went to play.  We have never played golf before but we have already made big improvements. We had a good instructor who showed us how to play golf in the right way and we really liked it. We are already looking forward to playing again next week!

All the Old Portena girls were divided into groups of two or three to sit in the sailing boats for our lesson on the lake. It was a very cool activity and our instructor taught us a lot of new things. After we had our sailing lesson, the water was still nice and warm so we went for a swim in the lake before we came back to the boarding house. We love doing this activity with the other girls that we live together with. (Ornella M, Anastasiya S. G8)
