“To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.” – La Rochefoucauld

A nice little kick about on a Sunday afternoon making the best of the weather.

The boys have been going to this activity for a while now and they are improving so much on their technique.

The boys have discovered ‘Scrabble’ finally! This game has been in the toy chest for a while but today we had our first game ever. There was some super spelling, creative vocabulary and a silly word or two…

We had to put on our thinking caps but we had a really fun time!

Mr. Jaime was an excellent coach to the youngest boarders in College du Leman this Saturday. These boys had great behaviour and showed some true power in each exercise. We knew we had some true Super-Heroes in training in our house and my gosh how they proved it this weekend! We done boys!

Our second pillar of well-being has begun and we are talking about Diversity and Bullying. As CDL is an International School there is already such great diversity all over campus so for Champs des Bois’ Individual Project the children have chosen someone they know and have written 10 things they like and 5 differences they have with this person. It’s really nice to read what lovely things our boys at CDB have written down.

Well done Mini-Superheroes!

Mr. Sergio started the first little lesson on how to fold our clothes properly and how to have nice organised cupboards and drawers. As you may notice here, Sacha is absolutely brilliant at this showing all the boys in the house that he is a pro at folding. Next we are going to look at how to keep their cupboard neat and tidy. Also, we will see other different ways of folding and maybe do some speed contests in the future, let’s see how it goes…

Working on our fitness and making sure we don’t forget about are Wellbeing Pillar 1 of Healthy Body and Healthy Mind. The boys ran 10 laps around our football pitch and showed great rhythm and a steady pace. We are very proud of these mini-athletes.

After this we made sure to make the most of the weather, we played a football match and got on our bikes since we hadn’t gone for a ride in quite a while.

Ivor and Mr. Stéphane prepared some delicious chocolate chip cookies for the whole house. Everyone was very grateful to dig in to these lovely treats. The spectacular photos are taken by Leon. Sorry that there isn’t a picture of the final result, Little Leon had put down the camera and picked up a cookie!

Little Leon was very enthusiastic to find the perfect snaps today. He has taken some really lovely shots and seems very keen on learning more about cameras and photography!
