Students enjoy a fun day at the beach

After a whole week of studying in an English only environment in the classroom, the children are continuing their studies while playing and having fun at the beach. And it was the perfect field trip as temperatures had shot up past 35 degrees. There was ample shade and shallow water for the children to truly enjoy themselves. "this is one way that we at I.S.L. fight the heat of summer". said Nick Christofalos (I.S.L. teacher) "It's air conditioned classroom to air conditioned bus, to beach and then back to air conditioned bus before the sun gets too strong".
