Horse Riding Group

The horse riding group have been having a really good time. They are learning how to look after their horses, how to saddle their horses and, of course, how to ride!

Meanwhile, in the UK, the Tokai Boys are Having Fun

Over the Irish Sea, in the UK, the Tokai boys are doing very well and having a great time at Marlborough College Summer School. They do a variety of activities such as shooting in the afternoons and are staying in families in the area. please look at their blog here.

Meanwhile in Scotland the Tokai Boys are Having Fun

The group in Scotland are having a great time. They have visited museums, participated in a talent show, are doing their English lessons and sharing rooms in this building with Spanish and Russian students. All is going well so far.

Newbridge Farm Visit

Some of the students visited Newbridge Farm to the north of Malahide.

They met this lovely Irish family!

Soccer World Cup

The boys have started playing informal games of soccer with the students from other countries. It's such a great way to meet people and break down barriers of shyness. Of course, it's good for them to run around too!

Tuesday

Today is the second day of the actual programme in Ireland for the Tokai boys. After the morning classes and lunch seven students who had chosen to do the horse riding set off for this activity in a new riding facility called Monksfield Riding Centre. They took a two hour lesson. They all got on very well learning to control their horses using their knees the stirrups and reins some of the boys displaying a natural talent for horsemanship. The other 17 boys went into Dublin city centre to visit the Natural History Museum which houses birds animals fish and insects from all over the world, many now extinct.

Thanks, Ami!

Patrick's daughter Ami came to visit and took some photos today. Here they are!

The boys have started to get used to their new environment and have started to smile more!
