Today, Manuel and Herman had a big match in the CDL Chess Tournament.
The boys love being outside and active!
Manuel loving water skiing!! The boys were up early this morning and headed to make the most of the lake on a beautiful Saturday morning. Perfect way to start the weekend!
Dmytro and Masafumi along with the girls from New Portena helped out this morning setting up the stands in Geneva for The Cleaning of the Lake this morning.
Masafumi and Dmytro stopped to get a photo with the sun shining on the lake.
Chady played in goal tonight and kept a clean sheet!!!
Louis and Kevin really enjoy playing Ping-Pong. It is always a great game to watch!
Masafumi pitching a fast ball. He loves playing Baseball!!
Devices and Sleep!
We all have heard that, and we all do it… But this explanation is so concise and straight to the point that it made us all think about it and wonder about a change of practice.
Smartphones are great devices but they need to be taken into account carefully. Overusing it becomes a worrying practice.
And when it comes to sleeping, we are probably talking about the most essential function of our body. Neglecting it is a major mistake that can lead to serious damage if not addressed.
Sleeping is great, delicious and the key to a healthy life.
Wellbeing Wednesday – Meditation
This evening, we had our third meditation session of the term, and the boys found it very useful. We did a body scan which really allowed the boys to settle down before bed.
Wellbeing Wednesday – House Dinner 🍝 🇮🇹
This evening, with the help of Loris, Erik, Manuel, and Antonio, we had our first House Dinner of the 2021/22 academic year.
The boys helped the House Parents prepare two delicious pasta dishes, using fresh and local ingredients. Antonio also prepared bruschetta and Loris prepared salads.
For dessert, the boys enjoyed a well-deserved ice cream.
This meal was a big part of educating the boys about the importance of a healthy body, and healthy minds. It was fantastic to see them enjoying the meal as a family at home, laughing and joking throughout, but also seeing how satisfying it was to eat something they had planned and prepared.
Also, thank you to Mr Usher and Mr Salva for coming to visit us in the Boarding House!
BRAVI TUTTI! 🇮🇹
A lovely visit from the teachers! 🏡
