Core English
Teachers are starting the week with some challenging learning objectives:
Calvin’s C1 class analyse and then write news articles also focusing on the more advanced language of deduction and probability.
Mat’s B1 class focus on academic English. Specifically they use the language of cause and effect to write a report about recycling.
Active Learning
They also develop their Critical Thinking skills and take ownership of their own learning by asking “thoughtful questions” themselves.
Meanwhile, the B2 students in Jai’s class discuss the future of robots in human society and follow their spoken work with an academic essay.

Dance Choreography
The Dance students have 9 hours to create a show ready for performance in the theatre:
Yes, we said 9 hours.
Is it possible?
Watch the video and tell us what you think! This is what they achieved working together after just 2 hours and 15 minutes.
…Let’s just say, that we’re looking forward to the show on Friday 20th July.
Monday night means we’re going out
We love Monday nights out. It’s the perfect time for new students to get to know each other in a relaxed setting. Lucia, Taissa and Priscilla from different parts of Brazil “show us how it’s done”.
Happy birthday Michal

Finally, the day ends with all the boys singing happy birthday to Michal. How many people experience this? New friends from 16 countries “singing happy birthday to you”.
After such a busy day, everyone is going to “sleep like a log”.
