The girls had a fantastic day out this weekend in Lausanne. The shops were very happy to see the group arrive and they left with nearly everything they found. The girls cooked their own dinner in the evening and enjoyed their time together.

The MYP 3 and 4 students took a trip to see a valuable collection of works by two famous sculptors: Auguste Rodin and Alberto Giacometti.  Both of the artists have a museum dedicated to their work in Paris. The two museums came together to make a combined traveling show that highlights the similarities and differences in their work.  For the students, the most important element was to realize that the expression, imperfection, gesture and liberty found in the sculptures of Rodin and Giacometti influences how we work today.  MYP 3 will begin a Giacometti like expressive sculpture and MYP 4 have already begun very clever sketches for their expressive figurative sculptures.  We will hopefully enjoy seeing these pieces on display in the creative space at the end of term. 

This week Year 1 and 2 visited the Tourist Information Office in Villars as part of their new Geography topic. They prepared some fantastic questions and brought back lots of information to help them build their own Tourist Office Role Play Area for their classroom. On the way back they took photographs to help them identify geographical features and thought about what makes Villars a great place to visit and to live in!
