Sometimes the Boarding office is a very quiet place, usually between 22.00 and 07.00 when everyone is sleeping! On a normal day, we are all very busy and it is also normal to have the students with me working on projects, busy finishing off homework, or stealing my sweets! Boarding life!

The Year 7 Entry Point for the unit on Adaptability was centred on a visit to the Natural History Museum in Geneva. The students undertook a series of tasks identifying how animals adapt to their specific habitats. The experience broadened their understanding of the need for biodiversity and the protection of natural environments. At the same time, they had a very enjoyable day!

This term we will be holding La Garenne's Got Talent! The students will be signing up and putting on a show for all the students in the school. There will be a panel of judges who will vote on the talent for the school year 2018-2019!

Every morning between 08:00 and 08:35 the children in Year 1 – 4 have been taking part in our Breakfast Club, this is an opportunity for the children to enjoy some activities and games that build their self-confidence, develop their imagination and language, and have some fun! 

The children in Year 9 enjoy starting their day with some yoga and mediation during their tutor period.

We want out students to start the day feeling energized and ready to learn!

The design and technology club have continued working on their new project, building a hot air balloon and flying it above the school, filming everything with a light weight camera. In order to do so, they bought balsa wood, believing it to be the lightest yet most robust material they could use, and created a small capsule to house the camera at 45 degrees whilst remaining stable. Last night they added the fuel container as well. The next step is the balloon itself, they are now deciding what to use? We will keep you updated on their success! They have even designed their own logo!
