You're never too old to enjoy the playground! Carla and Jen having a lovely time on the swings 

Everyone has had a nice lunch at our two restaurants. Time to relax and take in a little sunshine before the afternoon sessions.

All change...

Mr Lee got to see how group three were getting on, Miss Lippiatt and Mrs. Connell caught up with group one and two; who are progressing faster than ever. Mr Hinks caught up with Mrs Lovell and group four.

After realising the boots were on the wrong feet Shaalu had a quick changeover on the mountainside assisted by Francesco

Big shout out to Ilse who has joined group three. Never skied to this standard before and in 6 hours is quite amazing. Well done.

Bormio... Full shop

Everyone is about to depart for the town before a mid evening meal. Very continental.

Most of the students visited the crepe shop; waffles, crepes and ice cream galore

Our splat hat for tomorrow is Aadya after falling off the same button lift not once, not twice, not thrice but four times.....defintately splat hat worthy

Sweet sixteen and where better to be than at this beautiful ski resort. Happy 16th Birthday to Reanne

A few of the highlight videos from todays skiing:

A short diary entry from Chloe G (Group 4):

We started the day going up the ski lift to sunny valley. Our first black run of the week was upon us and I can safely say we survived (well just about in my case). Said successful run set the tone for the rest of the day and we had a great time. There's nothing more freeing than flying down a mountain.

Maybe this is an isolated experience but singing a little song only elevates it.

Our instructor has focused a lot on technique; specifically bending and straightening the legs to aid parallel turns. One exercise we did to practice this was skiing down hand in hand with one of our peers. Let's just say it didn't end the best - a lost glove and Chloe A left in the splits position (still holding hands may I add).

The day ended with skiing from the very top to the very bottom of the mountain. Hence, a successful day.
