Physical Education

Students have enjoyed participating in the Badminton clinics this term.  They have used balloons to practise control and worked on serving a shuttle to their partner.  Some students have managed to successfully rally with a partner and even attempted to beat Jake, the coach.

Bonjour tout le monde (Hello everybody),

I have just come back from a trip to France and today I will share with you a few photos of places we visited. It was hard to pick among hundreds of photos, so I have decided to skip Paris (too many to choose from), and choose only three spots. I hope you enjoy them...

1. Le château de Chenonceau

An architectural mixture of  late Gothic  and early Renaissance, Château de Chenonceau is the most visited castle in France, after the Royal Palace of Versailles near Paris.

2. The Dordogne Region

The Dordogne is a region in southwestern France, also known as Périgord, famous for its medieval castles, prehistoric sites like Lascaux, and picturesque villages.  It's a popular tourist destination known for its beautiful scenery, rich history, and delicious food.

3. Fort La latte

The castle of Fort la Latte, also called castle of Roche Goyon, in reference to the lord who decided of its construction, is located on a rocky cape of the coast of Brittany where I come from. Bordered by cliffs that protected it from possible maritime invasions, the castle is difficult to access, even from the inland. From the site, however, the panoramic view over the Channel, the Emerald Coast and the bay of Saint-Malo are breathtaking.
