Sometimes you wake up, look outside your bedroom window and everything looks even more beautiful than usual.

This morning was one of those days. We were visited by a herd of deer from the mighty Mortimer Forest.

These deer are wild, but they visit the campus every day. A good time to catch a glimpse of them is early in the morning, however, they make appearances at any moment when the campus falls into silence.

Hard work

Students are working hard in Core English classes including Emma’s B1 class who in the last lesson today did presentations on their favourite books.

They followed this with a very in-depth and impressive discussion contrasting the experience of reading a book with that of watching a film. Key points included the fact that there is more detail in a book and that in a book the audience get greater access to the characters’ internal thoughts.

International Night

This week 14 nationalities are present on campus. As part of international night, students made posters with key information about their countries including the greatest moment in history. Not only that, students brought souvenirs and sweets to share from their countries.

Students went around the various stands gathering information, telling notes and asking their own questions.

Mikulas from the Czech Republic offered More Than English director a biscuit and told him a very, very shocking story linked to a famous Czech biscuit.

We’re sure that for David, eating biscuits will never be the same again.

We hope that International Night will have inspired students’ desire to travel, stay in touch and start new journeys to reach other’s countries long after summer school has finished.
