Three amazing weeks in Bournemouth

After thinking about where to go on a language course over and                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               over again, we finally decided to spend three weeks in Bournemouth, being convinced by the short distance to London, the mild climate and the direct location to the Atlantic Ocean.
With two members of the IP Crew, Urenna and Cynthia, already waiting for us, we were really nice welcomed after the long bus journey. Then we were brought to our accommodation, Cranborne House, where we had a few hours time to relax.
Before we went on a guided town walk, we had an introduction and a summary of the daily activity programme, e.g. nail-painting, Henna Tattoo, Beach BBQ and basketball.

Eindrücke aus Biarritz

Freitag, 28. August 2009

IP is spending its last two weeks on the sunny Biarritz. Right after the school the IP students enjoys the last opportunity to sunbath on the welcoming beaches of Biarritz, Anglet and Hendaye. Meanwhile the activities never stop. This week we offered quite a variety of them: from a visit of Bilbao in Spain to the very atypical for the hot summer day activity – ice-skating.

My time in Bournemouth
I spent two amazing weeks at IP Bournemouth where I had a lot of fun, made new friends and could enjoy the programme which the IP Team prepared for us. Even the weather was better than I expected. In the first week, I especially liked the workshop IP Summer Magazine where we collected some IP gossip as well as horoscopes, made a photo story and judged the summer fashion. Also the Nail Painting was a pleasure since I first spoiled my hands with a peeling, then I could learn how to make French Manicure and completed it with nice flower stickers. One of my favourite evening events was the Black & White Party where almost everybody dressed up in black and/or white.

Pyjama Party in Bournemouth

Freitag, 21. August 2009

Another fun- filled week in the sunny IP Bournemouth. The week kicked off with the making of friendship bracelets.  We had beautiful bright colours of wools and beads as the students took the opportunity to show off their creativity.  Some made bracelets for their loved ones back at home and others exchanged bracelets with their new found friends.
The evening event ‘the Pyjama Party’ was admittedly one of the funniest and most enjoyable parties we have had so far.  The Ocean was transformed into a big, cosy and relaxing bedroom with colourful balloons and cuddly teddy bears.  The students arrived properly dressed for the occasion in their ‘PJs’ and as usual, they danced, danced and danced as they enjoyed the freshly prepared energy bursting fruits and vegetables.

Teignmouth – Englische Esskultur erleben

Freitag, 21. August 2009

Last Week in Teignmouth
This week we quite often went to several coffee shops and had the so called “Cream tea”.
“Cream tea” is a typical Devon ceremony during teatime. Next to the famous English tea that is served with milk, you got the scones, which are somewhat really sweet and heavy yeast breads “Hefebroetchen” either plain or including raisins, nuts or other ingredients. On the scones, you but clotted cream that is a kind of special butter with cream and on top, there goes strawberry jam.

Unermüdliche Schüler in Biarritz

Freitag, 14. August 2009

Who works hard deserves a good rest.
Another bright week in the IP club. IP team was lucky to receive one of the bests groups during this summer: students who balance successfully between everyday hard work in the field of French language and leisure. Sometimes as a centre manager I wonder how much energy our students have: they wake up early in the morning, go to classes and then to the surf lessons or Ping-Pong tournament and still are able to sing their favourite songs on our karaoke during the evening event.

Flower Power im IP Ocean Bournemouth

Dienstag, 11. August 2009

One more week has passed, and the half-way point reached! With students, group leaders, and IP team members leaving, it really does feel very different each week. Leonie, Luisa, Nicolas and Fabian – we will truly miss you!! Leaving that aside, what else happened in Bournemouth as we left the month of July and entered August?
Our Flower Power welcome party was a huge success. Students came dressed in bright and colourful hippy clothes, and all sorts of flowers lined the walls of the Ocean. In the afternoon, several students had helped us with the party preparation, and they also made flower chains for themselves to wear in the evening. Before everyone entered the hall, each person became the centre of their very own special IP flower !

Biarritz trotzt “schlechtem” Wetter

Montag, 10. August 2009

The summer on the ocean shore has its ups and downs in weather. This week was somewhere in between. On one hand the sun is shining in the afternoon, but on the other, everyday we have some slight rain. However, in the IP camp it is always hot and no rain can keep our students inside their houses. When the sun was still ‘on’ the beach volleyball gathered over 15 people, the teams that were prepared the best had received certificates in the appreciation of their talent and some sweet awards.

IP Teignmouth in London

Dienstag, 4. August 2009

Last weekend our huge and fantastic London trip had been organized. We had the soccer and another daytrip group as well as one overnight group. After a long bus drive without a traffic jam- yaay – we finally arrived in London where two of the groups started right away with the sightseeing tour and some free time after. The soccer group drove directly to the Chelsea stadium where we got a guided tour through the whole stadium including the press room and the changing room of the famous soccer players.

Bad Taste Party in Bournemouth

Montag, 3. August 2009

On Monday, we had a great evening event. The theme of the party was ‘BAD TASTE’ and the students all dressed up in a very interesting mix of clothes. To welcome the students was our very own home-made Fabian (our Swiss group leader) – dressed by our IP team in a colourful and interesting outfit. A gorgeous and healthy banquet of crocodile eyes (popcorn) and jungle pizzas (watermelon and kiwis) was also provided for the students. After an evening filled with dancing, Mr and Miss Bad Taste 2009 were elected by the students.
