Tonight we had a talent show which was really good fun.

Every boarding house did a great job of making a video or performing on the stage, it gave a chance for many people to express themselves and share their talents with everyone.  We tried our best and made our video which is attached below (it might not have music because of youtube copyrights and all that kind of stuff.)  Making it was good fun!

Today we took the bikes to the nature reserve. It was very quiet and relaxing. We saw a Coot (bird), Primroses (springtime flowers) and heard lots of frogs – it sounded like they were laughing at us! It was nice to do this and we are lucky we have a place like this so close to our school. I hope we go there again.

On Sunday the weather was sunny and nice, so all of Champ-des-Bois went on a biking trip into Versoix. There, we found a nice place to play the traditional french game of “petanque.” It was very interesting and not complicated at all. We had great time doing it and got some fresh air in the process!

Throughout the year there are various inter-house competitions. The latest one was a knock out competition for FIFA on the x-box. Mauro played to represent CdB and was crowned the champion!!!

A massive well done from all the boys, that should move us up the league table nicely!

In this marking period we are please to have biking again. Today was not a very good day for biking due to the rain. Therefore, we decided to pump the tires of the bikes instead for next time. Gio was the responsible one for the pumping and the others were checking whether the bikes were fine or not. Me and Mauro are new to this activity; we learned how to bike in the beginning of the year and we are excited to show what we have learned! We hope next week the weather will be good to us and we will be able to go for  a ride.

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.
