We are very excited to welcome all the superstars back to Champs des Bois! We have some returning boarders as well as some new students to get to know. The house is all ready and we can’t wait to meet everybody!

On this lovely warm evening we made the most of the big Concha garden that we have at our disposal. The children had enjoyed swinging and hanging from the climbing frames all together.

This weekend some of our boys participated in the Europa Park trip to Germany. They had lots of fun and were very proud of themselves for going on the scary high-speed rides! Firdavs was lucky enough to celebrate his birthday there on Saturday as well. The children spoiled him with lots of sweet treats!

We wish you all a happy spring break. We look forward to seeing the children in a couple of weeks and hear all about their adventures!

On Sunday, the boys got to enjoy a fun outing to Chamonix. We took the scenic train all the way up the mountain and then ventured back down into the ice caves. The children found it very interesting to learn about the impact of climate change has had on the glacier.

Today our boys spent some time outside enjoying this lovely weather that we have been having recently.

The children came together to play a fun game of Cluedo.

The children had lots of fun participating in their activities today. The super climbers reached new heights, the arts and crafters learned how to crochet and Matvei showed off his skills in volleyball. We are proud of all of them for wanting to continue learning and improving !

This week, Liam told us all the story of Sinterklass or Saint Nicholas. Traditionally, young children put their shoes in front of the door and sing Sinterklaas songs, They then put an apple or carrot in their shoe, as a gift to Saint Nicholas’ horse. The next morning, the children will wake up to find a small present in their shoes. Along with Liam, the boys all joined in on this tradition and were very happy to wake up to some treats Sinterklaas had magically left for them.

Liam and Firdavs were eager to bake cupcakes for everyone this weekend. After going to the shops to buy the ingredients, the boys were excited to get into the kitchen. They followed the recipe perfectly and enjoyed being creative decorating the cupcakes ! We even had a surprise taster come in at the end to make sure everything was good.
