Backgammon Time!

Ivor has recently been learning how to play backgammon and has picked up some of the basic strategies quite quickly. The combination of skill, luck and taking risks makes for a very unpredictable and fun game!

Pillar 5 – Making Safe & Responsible Choices

With this Well-being session we wanted to make sure the children understood the importance of safe and responsible choices so we got this wonderful children’s book to read along with them – Let’s Talk About Body Boundaries, Consent and Respect is a book to teach children about body ownership, respectful relationships, feelings and emotions, choices and recognising bullying behaviours.

The children were answering questions and also asking a lot of them too! It’s great to see how much they knew about this topic and also to hear the things that they would like to know more about.

Tired out

Christopher went Biking with Mr. George, Mr. Ronan and a bunch of Seniors this Saturday.

He managed to keep up with the bigger boys quite well and bicycled over 11km!

Let’s Roll!

Leon and Ivor spent Saturday morning learning how to make sushi.

They learnt about the ingredients that go into the most popular sushi rolls, and the perils of wasabi!

Lazin’ About

Sunday afternoon was the opposite of a lazy Sunday.

We had the opportunity to play laser tag in the beautiful Concha garden, and what a blast it was!

It was an intense battle, but ultimately we achieved our Main Mission: TO HAVE FUN!

 

Thrill of the Hunt!

So hear me all and listen good,
Your effort will be worth the cold.
If you are brave and in the wood
I bestow your title and the gold!

Saturday evening CDB participated in the Boarding Treasure Hunt! And what a thrill it was!

Clues in the form of poems engaged our minds and took us on a tour of our campus.

Questions about something in each location engaged our senses as we studied our surroundings carefully.

We did quite well! While we were tied for how many questions we got correct, our enthusiasm paid off as we had the faster time!
