As we head into the final stretch of our summer adventure, Day  brought the perfect balance of brains and brawn!

The morning kicked off with our usual buzz of excitement as students dove into their English and cultural studies sessions. It’s inspiring to see how much confidence our young learners have built over just a few days – many now happily speaking up in class and helping each other.

After lunch, the sunshine lit the way for an action-packed afternoon of sport – and what a lineup we had! Students took part in a rotating schedule of fun and fitness, enjoying everything from football and basketball to team challenges and group relays. However, the highlight of the day was our dedicated fencing workshop – a new experience for many of our students!

Led by professional instructors, the fencing session introduced students to the elegance, precision, and discipline of this Olympic sport. Dressed in full kit, students learned the basics of footwork, posture, and how to safely handle the foil. There was lots of laughter as everyone mastered their first parries and lunges – and by the end, there were a few budding musketeers among us!

It was a joy to see students trying something totally new with such enthusiasm and courage. Whether they were on the sports field or in the fencing hall, they gave it their all and supported each other every step of the way.

Tomorrow brings more exploration and creativity – but for now, it’s rest and recharge for another big day ahead!
