Dear all,

Today, we had the pleasure of sharing Indian food. Our meal featured Butter Chicken, along with Indian vegetables & rice on saffron, a fragrant and colorful side that perfectly complemented the meal.

Indian cuisine is famous for its use of spices like turmeric, cumin, and cardamom, which give its dishes their bold flavors. Saffron, one of the world’s most expensive spices, is often used in Indian rice dishes to add both color and a subtle floral taste.

Did you know that India is the largest producer of spices in the world? The country grows and exports a huge variety of spices that are used in kitchens across the globe. Another fun fact—Butter Chicken, or Murgh Makhani, was created in the 1950s in Delhi and has since become one of the most popular Indian dishes worldwide!

It was a delicious dinner that gave us a small taste of India’s rich food culture.

Dear all,

What an amazing weekend we’ve had at Champs des Bois! With the sun shining brightly, we really enjoyed the spring weather.

The highlight of our weekend was the Accrobranche Trip. We ventured to an adventure park nestled in Geneva’s natural surroundings, where we tackled various climbing courses and exhilarating zip lines. Initially, some of us felt a bit apprehensive about the heights, but by the end of the day, everyone had conquered their fears and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

This adventure provided us with thrilling challenges and also strengthened our bonds as we supported each other through each course. We’re already looking forward to our next escapade!

Dear all,

Donny and Chika’s trip to Champery was a great experience. They spent three days skiing on the slopes, enjoying the fresh snow and beautiful views. After each day on the mountain, they relaxed in the hotel’s heated pool, which was a perfect way to unwind. The hotel provided a comfortable and cozy place to rest after their activities.

To finish their trip, Donny and Chika joined a disco party at the hotel. The music and atmosphere made it a fun way to celebrate the end of their vacation. They spent the night dancing and enjoying the time together, making it the perfect conclusion to their skiing adventure in Champery.

Dear all,

Today, Mana and Ethan took the stage in a Drama Show at the school, bringing ancient myths and the changing of the seasons to life! They both did an amazing job, and we could tell they really enjoyed being part of the performance.

Of course, Chika and Donny wouldn’t have missed it for the world—they were in the audience, cheering them on and enjoying the show from start to finish.

It was a fantastic experience for everyone, and we’re so proud of our Champs des Bois actors! 👏🎬

Dear all,

Today, we had the pleasure of sharing Greek food at home. Our meal started with Tzatziki & crunchy raw vegetables, followed by Chicken Souvlaki wrapped in warm Pita bread, and for dessert, we enjoyed Greek yogurt with honey and fresh fruit.

Greek cuisine is all about fresh ingredients, simple combinations, and bold flavors. Olive oil, yogurt, and herbs like oregano and mint are key elements in many traditional dishes. Pita bread and souvlaki (grilled meat skewers) are staples of Greek street food, enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.

Did you know that Greece is one of the world’s biggest producers of olives? Some olive trees there are over 2,000 years old and still produce olives today! Another fun fact—Greek yogurt is famous for being thicker and creamier than regular yogurt, thanks to its special straining process.

Dear all,

Chika and Donny are lucky to be going on a residential trip with G5 students to Champéry, a cozy village located in the Swiss Alps, in the Valais region. They’ll get to enjoy a beautiful natural setting and have fun skiing on the slopes of the famous “Portes du Soleil” ski area. Despite its modern ski facilities, Champéry keeps its traditional charm with wooden houses, and in summer, it’s the perfect spot for hiking and cycling.

Today, we had the pleasure of sharing Iranian food for dinner. Our meal included Tahchin, a delicious saffron-infused rice cake, Lamb Shank, slow-cooked, and for dessert, Sholezard, a sweet rice pudding. It was a great way to experience the flavors of Persian cuisine.

Iranian food is known for its rich spices, slow-cooked dishes, and love for ingredients like saffron, pomegranates, and nuts. Rice plays a big role in Persian cuisine, with different techniques and styles used to create beautifully layered dishes like Tahchin.

Did you know that Iran is the world’s largest producer of saffron? This precious spice, also called “red gold,” is a key ingredient in many Iranian dishes, giving them their unique aroma and color. Another fun fact—Persian cuisine is one of the oldest in the world, with recipes and traditions dating back thousands of years!

Dear all.

Tonight at 7:30 PM, Collège du Léman football team faced off against Collège Champittet in our sports hall. Jin, Mana, and Xingyu didn’t want to miss it, so we headed over to watch the first two halves of the match.

They were super passionate, cheering loudly for every goal our team scored—and even celebrating the great plays from the opposing team!

After the match, we headed back to Champs des Bois to get ready for tomorrow’s formative tests. A little bit of football, a little bit of studying—sounds like a balanced evening to us! 💪📖
