Today it was a very cold day but the tulips were wonderful! They were really colorful with lots of different types of them. We took a lot of photos of the flowers and the lake. It was a great day. Maria G7

I came to CdL during my Thai holidays to experience CdL before I come to live here next year. Being a student here gave me a lot of experiences. I learned a lot of new things in my education, lifestyle, sports and weather! Before I came I was feeling very nervous and the first day of school was scary. A few days after, everything changed and everything was perfect. I love all of my friends that I made here – it is my life, my dream and I will come back to CdL again for these things. Sirithip G9

Irina is well prepared for Movie Night on a rainy Saturday evening!

So today in our Old Portena house activity we booked out the American Diner for smoothies. This morning, Joanne was asking everyone what smoothies they wanted.
“Arin, what kind of smoothie do you want at the diner? How about trying the Oreo smoothie! It’s really great!”, she says, discretely hinting to the legenDAIRY (pun haha) Oreo smoothie.
So I’m thinking hmmmmm…
“You know what I want?”
“What do you want? The awesome OREO SMOOTHIE?”

*dramatic pause*

“Strawberry”
And that’s the story of how I chose a strawberry smoothie over an Oreo smoothie. 🙂

Today I was selected for the General Knowledge Super Final in front of all the G8’s. We lost miserably, losing 36-20, (because we didn’t know that Spock’s blood was green!) We played against six teachers including Mr Gilbert. However, out of the goodness of their hearts, the teachers allowed us to have the trophies, because we are all champions in our own way! 🙂

Today I started to get all my notes on my bed to revise for my final exams in June and the tutor gave a timetable to fill in and ten revision tips to start revising to start tonight.

Our students from Russian speaking countries made a delicious dinner for us all to try. Katia, Valeria, Maria, Anastasia and Alina were cooking and serving – a great service!

Our Academic Tutors are available throughout the week in the after school study sessions from 4pm-7pm. These Tutors provide personalised tuition to help each student excel in their studies and revise for their exams.

Kateryna has been looking after her sunflowers very well since she planted the seeds on Friday. Today she was excited to see that she already has two new baby shoots (if you look very closely!) Herluce and Irina are in second in place with their first shoots appearing as well.
