The weather has been nice lately, and I cannot wait for the holidays ! It has been a long and hard marking period and our well earned break is coming up ! We have all been working hard recently and we hope our grades will prove that. I hope you all have a great holidays with your family and friends !

Every week in Champs des Bois our tutor gives this cup to the best room. Its mainly about how clean the room is, but it also depends whether you were on time for the activities and if you are doing well in school. I have won it this week, and I’m looking forward to enjoying my chocolate prize!

Even if its cold outside we still continue doing our activities.  One of our favourites is playing football in the balloon, we enjoy it very much and each week more and more people are coming to play with us. We are happy that we have this activity!

This term, I have started a new activity – Special Effects, conducted by the specialists from Studio 41. This term we have started doing such interesting stuff as fake cuts, bites and even creating our own fake hand. The instructors are nice and amiable and maybe because of that, even though this art is not easy to master, we are doing it pretty well. Such a class is totally different from what we usually do and that is why I like it very much.

We hope you are having a great day Aslan, look forward to seeing you soon!

I hope everybody has a terrific break. Whatever you choose to celebrate, time spent with family and friends is always reason for cheer. Remember what the Grinch discovered:

On Friday, CdB boys had an amazing night. Starting to get prepared for the night, we already felt like the christmas dance was going to be an extraordinary experience. We started to walk to the limousine which waited for us at the back of the Cervin building. The music started to enter our body and we all started to dance and sing. It was an incredible feeling. We then stopped to take some pictures and then continued our trip, ending at Kempinsky. We entered the dining hall. Everything was so elegant and graceful. We went to our table and started to talk about random things, joke, laugh and enjoy ourself. We then ate very tasty food and watched the Kavkaz boys dance lezginka. Then the music started again and we came together and danced on the dance floor. We had a beautiful night at the Christmas dance and we hope that next year it will be the same.

Last week we went to Le Rosey school to watch CdL play football in the finals of a tournament of international schools in our area. We were in both finals and we won both of them!!!

From our house Gio and Jia Hao were playing in the first match, we saw the second half. It was very exciting, it went to extra time and Karim from Leman scored in the last minute! The varsity game was also great to watch and ended up being successful for us – what an evening!

It was very cold standing at the side of the game but the energy from the players made it well worth going.

!!! WELL DONE EVERYBODY !!!

Here are some of the boys training earlier in the year.

As Christmas is coming we decorated our tree in our house – it is looking great! Decorating it together was fun.

The presents in the picture are for a charity that the school helps every year. They will go to under-privileged children in Europe. The school has collected around 300 boxes and a lot of them are from the boarding houses. It feels great to help other children in need.

I hope they will have a great Christmas!

…and you too!
