Tonight we were very pleased to share this wonderful moment all together with the boys and other students from CDL .

Turkey 🦃, sweet potato 🍠, corn 🌽 and Donuts 🍩 tasted like an old country road that would bring us home to West Virginia. 🇺🇸

Our boys were very motivated to bake Champs des Bois Cake today. Like on the Master Chef TV show the time flew by so fast that we had to run to hand in our cake to the judges before the time was up. Such a fun time for them! We are very proud of ours little chefs and of the delicious cake that they prepared.

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!

Being a child can be stressful! The Champs des Bois Team have prepared a few relaxation and anti-stress sessions to help them unwind. The first session was focused around Kevin and Ivor who both had a bad day full of emotions and anxiety. They enjoyed the first relaxation video before bed and it helped put their minds at ease, reflect on their behaviour, and understand emotions and concerns that they had been feeling. This first session was a success for them…their mood improved radically and they fell asleep pleasantly.We are very pleased to see the good effect it has had on them, so we can’t wait for the next session.  SWEET DREAMS BOYS!

A little mix of biathlon and triathlon….

Today the Champs des Bois boys took part in a brand new game; they had to ride on a bike 🚴 around the sports field, then run 🏃 and finally to shoot empty cans with Nerf Guns 🔫

This afternoon, we made the most of the good weather to ride our bikes around forest track by the school.

After Brunch, we watched the Turkey 🇹🇷  Formula 1 Grand Prix 🏁

We saw Lewis Hamilton win the race and his 7th World Champion Title.

We are also Ferrari fans 😉

Since the boys discovered this game last April, they expressed their will to learn and practice more.
We asked for Gary Kasparov, but he was on holiday, so he sent his best pupil: Mr. Miguel, the CDL chess master ♟

This Saturday morning, Leon took the opportunity to be coached by Mr.Rob from Concha and two other boarders, improving his running technique.

We are aiming for the Marathon this Spring 😉
