Le Derby de France – PSG v OM

Voici Gianni et Adrian en train de recréer Le Classique en eSports. Le Classique est la rivalité entre les clubs professionnels de football français du Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) et de l’Olympique de Marseille (OM). Les deux clubs sont les plus titrés du football français et les seules équipes françaises à avoir remporté des trophées européens majeurs. Il s’agit donc de la plus grande rivalité en France.

Première Match: (Gianni) PSG 4 – 1 OM (Adrian)

Deuxième Match: (Gianni) PSG 4 – 5 OM (Adrian)

Match de la vengence demain….Allez les gars!

Choisissez votre équipe

Nous sommes prêts

Football Crazy!

In the evening we love getting the boys out the house to kick the ball around. Mr. Sam and the boys had a great time. Boys enjoying time together and making sure to show Mr. Sam who is boss.

The Squad

On Saturdays We Climb!

Eduardo, Martin, Sam, Emir and Quique joined the Climbing Club this weekend. Lots of time spent on new challenges and tougher boulder problems.

The boys are focusing a lot more on not concentrating all of their strength through upper body but using thier legs more. Prioritising footwork and body positioning is key to finding their centre of balance, once they start putting these techniques in place their climbing level will sky rocket.

Keep your feet up Edu!

Push with your legs Martin!

Just hanging out with Sam

Started from the bottom now we’re here – Emir

Swinging from the top

Fancy footwork

So Many Books, So Little Time – Frank Zappa

Calm down time and having a little read with the Grade 8s. It is nice to see them in their own worlds and how their vocabulary is flourishing each time we run through the tricky words.

Top words of the evening:

Resignedly: (adverb) in a way that expresses giving in to the insistence of another or to circumstances beyond one’s control.

Busted: (adjective) in trouble; caught doing something bad or wrong.

Hyper: (adjective) overexcited; overstimulated.

Fanbo, Javi & Firdavs – Caught in the plot.

Jiarui found a quiet spot to himself.

Honours Recognition Assembly

Well done to our young ones for being great students. Our Head of Boarding Mr. Usher wanted to give a big thank you to the students for being great examples here at Collège du Léman. Our Concha representatives are Alex, Juze, Eduardo and Fanyang – good job boys and keep it up!

Congratulations!

Juze & Fanyang on stage.

Crans Montana and Boarding

Boarding and Crans Montana are back together. Unbelievable weather, skiing, snowboarding, ice-skating, sledging, snowshoeing, bowling. It was non-stop fun and activities for everyone in boarding. Our boys showed respect towards their ski instructors and all House Parents on duty in the mountains. They really showed great effort skiing and snowboarding, the beginners enjoyed their first experience in the Swiss Alps and really tried their best. Well done everyone!

Not a cloud in sight

Tournament Time – Basketball With Sam

Sam was selected once again to represent Collège du Léman and joined the basketball team. This time the Panthers traveled for a tournament against 10 other teams. Sam  played really well contributing to his team with, and I quote, ”Quite a lot of points”. We’re sure he’s being modest. So proud of this young talent and great to see him trying his best to succeed in all areas of his life.

He’s cooking!

Guided Reading Club

Another calm night in the common area with our young Grade 8s, each reading their chosen books. It’s wonderful to see their vocabulary progressing as we go over and log in their reading diaries key words they may have misinterpreted or not understood. 

Adrian is deep in another world and Firdavs is distracted by the camera.

Javi and Sam doing great and Jerry too – but needs to work on that posture.

Jiarui and Fanbo find it more comfy on the beanbags.

 

Olympus Gym Addicts

Our boys ceremonially make sure to visit Olympus Gym every evening. They usually practice their hooping skills and tonight wasn’t any different. Check out these epic pics of the Concha Team balling together!

Which way is he going?

This way? – That way?

It’s a Fanbo Fade-away!!
