Travel: My Holiday House in Montreal, Canada
My house in Canada is a holiday haven where my family and I migrate to once or twice a year. In the summer the temperature holds at 25 to 30 degrees Celsius sometimes breaking the 40 degree barrier! If I could be anywhere in the summer, 204 Evergreen Drive, Montreal Canada is where you would find me, either in the pool with my cousins and sister or having an intense ping - pong battle with my dad. In the evening it stays light till late, so we have dinner then play football with the goal in our back yard. We usually run down to the den then I watch a movie with a warm fire burning and crackling away. All our relatives live within five minutes away and we spend most days with them playing around in the heat. After two weeks of fun I go to summer camp! I go to a sleep away camp called ‘Kanawana’ and it is the best time of the summer with kayaking up rivers, fishing, and roasting marshmallows and games. I stay there for twelve days that zoom past. When I arrive back my mum is happy to see me and we get back to another two weeks of summer shenanigans. In the penultimate week we drive through the American and Canadian border to Vermont for the annual family reunion. There are so many names to match with so many faces I can’t keep track, especially with them all having more kids! At the reunion we have my mum’s cousins (she is Canadian), her uncle, aunt, second, third, fourth and fifth cousins and probably more! When we return it’s all very quiet, my cousins are back at school and we just sit and relax and do nothing, finally we bid our goodbyes and cry our ways to the airport, we then depart on our six hour cross of the ocean back home!
This is why Montréal, Canada is my favourite place in the whole wide world!

Russian Society is run by a Year 11 boy, Shamil Amirov. The society is held on Monday lunch breaks from 13:10 to 13:45 straight after period 6, in the North Block, room 33.
During this society we discuss
different topics such as: Russian cities, sports in Russia, Russian mafia. Sometimes we watch documentaries about Russia. At the end of each society meeting we provide Russian sweets and you can try them. If you come to the Russian Society five times in a row you will get the Russian tie, also you can come three times in a row and bring two friends along with you, and also get the Russian tie. Around the
school you can find posters that will tell you the main information about the society: where and when. Everyone from the Lower School is welcome, it is not only for Middle and Upper School boys.
I hope to see you there.
