Dear parents
The purpose of this blog is for you parents to see what your child really does here at
Ardingly. We have two groups with us, one from Milano (Monza e il regno Brianzuola) and Bologna, therefore this blog will include both of us. We will update it often so you can check in and see the ongoing
adventure. We will take lots of pictures so if you don’t see your child just be
patient. We hope you
enjoy the blog. (se volete posso fare riassunti in
Italiano se è necessario)
Day one
I will not bore you with the arrival details. I was
totally embarrassed during the landing of the plane since ALL YOU ITALIANS clap your hands (come per dire - bravo pilota ci hai portato qui vivi…umm non e su lavoro? E comè se applaudisco se vedo il portinaio che mi porta la posta?!?!)
We arrived around 3pm
local time and the first thing we did was have lunch. We soon after got
settled into our rooms (with
a little surprise but we
will survive J )
Anyways the students were given a tour of the school and the campus.
The place is beautiful as you can see from the pictures
below. I feel like Harry Potter walking around the school. Very traditional in
all aspects of an English prep school.
It has many facilities which will keep us entertained. Our building has three floors. The top floor is for the boys the ground floor
for the girls and the bottom floor for games, T.V. and just relax.
We finished the evening with some activities and
football of course. There are over 100 students in our language school. There
is another language school with the same amount that we see sometimes. In that
group there are a lot of (non-Italians) Brazilian, Russian and Swiss. Unfortunately
in our building there are only Italians with a small group of Spanish students.
Here are random pics of our first day and the school. I know some of your children told you we were living in Syria or Baghdad because our housing was not "good enough". So let the pics help you decide.
See you tomorrow
