As the kids go back to their weekly routines, they resume boarding activities they used to do when they were here. Although sometimes they complain a tiny bit about it, our twice-a-week Concha Reading Club is the perfect opportunity for them to relax and disconnect after a long day before going to sleep.

We join them, as we believe reading is a journey we can get inspiration from and this activity helps us learn more vocabulary in our language or any other language we are reading. Mr Sam was in charge of explaining the meanings of those words they did not know about, such as supper or rehearsal. One thing we love about this is when they passionately explain what they read. It is interesting to know what books they are keen on and how their tastes differ from one another.

The kids were taking final notes before Mr Sam started solving their doubts

There were many words Zhengtai wanted to note down!

Martin and Javier were hooked on their reading!

In August, three kids coming from different Chinese cities united pursuing a common passion: basketball!

Jiarui, Tim and Fanbo have been playing lots of basketball matches together throughout the year and during the holidays, the first thing they were thinking of doing when returning to the Boarding House was playing basketball with one another. As they have some social time every day, today, they took advantage of this time and went to the Olympus basketball court to play some friendly Basketball matches. Isn’t it incredible how sports can bring kids coming from different cities together and make them create everlasting friendship bonds? 💪🏻
