Goodbye Radley! See you next year!

2011-08-10T16:05:00.006+01:00

Eva-Marie, Christina, Katherina, Lucas, Carolina, Helena, Pauline, Leonard and Konrad say their final farewells to DS Radley 2011 from Heathrow before their flight back to Germany.

We hope you had a wondrful summer with us at Radley. We're looking forward to next year already!

Final Disco!

2011-08-10T15:56:00.010+01:00

We had a wonderful (although teary!) send-off last night after the final disco of Summer 2011. It was a fantastic night; we can't wait until next year!

Have a safe trip home Ataberk, Batu, Niccolo, Filippo, Zeynep and Deniz!

See you next year, Filippo, Niccolo and the two Anna's!

Goodbye from our lovely French students, Tamara, Mathilde and Elena.

A large group of students left Radley last week to make the journey home. We held a lovely night-time celebration with lots of lights and music to say goodbye to them all properly. It was very sad with lots of tears. Bon voyage and au revoir! We hope you all had a safe trip home. See you next year!

Gary was the most teary out of everyone! He misses you all so much!

Blagodaria from Bulgaria!

2011-07-26T11:17:00.008+01:00

Martina and Dayana, who went home to Bulgaria last week, made a big impression at DS Radley this year.

Martina quickly became known as the girl who always smiles and Dayana as the intrepid roller blader!

We were sad to say 'dovijdane' (goodbye in Bulgarian) to them both last Wednesday, and it was even more emotional when a large box (that tellingly once contained roller blades!) appeared in the course office. The box was full of Bulgarian goodies and thank you notes for the staff from Martina and Dayana.

It also contained this letter:

Thank you Dayana and Martina for your gifts. It is very much appreciated; the box is still in pride of place in the Course Office where it can be admired by all!

Here is a picture of Martina and Dayana (from far left) and the gang on the bowling excursion in Banbury.

BLAGODARIA!

Football Grudge Match: Staff v Students

2011-07-25T17:28:00.011+01:00

Many staff and returning students will argue that this is THE event of the DS Radley season.

(However, like the teams, opinions on this statement may be somewhat divided according to gender...)

Certainly for the male staff at DS Radley, this 50 minute match was a BIG DEAL. Pride was at stake, especially as the DS Radley staff have won only ONCE in the last EIGHT years.

Any national differences and allegiances were forgotten as our teams worked hard to sprint, dribble and tackle (note: not foul) their way to victory.

Mike, a Social Director, left his staff badge on the side-line as he stepped into the difficult position of referee.

Here are some photographs of the closely fought grude match:

Step back in time at Warwick Castle.

2011-07-25T16:12:00.008+01:00

While some students sought the thrills of Thorpe Park last week, others opted for the more cultual choice- Warwick Castle and Stratford Upon Avon.

Students had the chance to explore William Shakespeare's home in Stratford and at Warwick they marvelled at birds of prey, a replica of a 13th Century trebuchet (the largest in the world!) and tried their hands at archery.

Take a look at some photos of the day below....

Fascinating birds of prey...

A demonstration during which we watched the distinctive birds fly.

Time for some Bon-fun

2011-07-25T14:57:00.013+01:00

We're so busy at DS Radley that sometimes it's nice to just get together, relax, play games and enjoy the balmy (?!) English summer evenings.

We call this time 'Bon-fun'. Health and safety may dictate that we no longer have the bonfire after which this evening activity was originally named, but we have retained the other activities (face painting, ball games, music, toasted marshmallows...) that make this evening feel like a typically British summer fete.

Here are some wonderful photographs (curtosy of teacher Jen Smith) of last week's Bonfun that we'd love to share with you.

Radio Radley 2 - The next episode!

2011-07-22T17:40:00.006+01:00

Dear loyal listeners,

Radio Radley is back with an eagerly awaited second episode.

Unfortunately this is the last episode to be created by the current class of Stoke, as Radio Stars Eddy, Antonia and Benedetta have flown back home.

But fear not! This is only the beginning for Radio Radley! The next hard-working team of producers and presenters will make it bigger and better. Watch this space for the results of their efforts.

But for now, sit back, relax and enjoy listening to your favourite radio show as our stars lead you through all the latest DS Radley gossip (especially the bit about the latest love matches- very intriguing!)

Have fun!

Let's get cooking!

2011-07-22T13:39:00.011+01:00

Activity leaders Hannah and John have been leading cookery club this week.

Our student-chefs have had a great time making typical English dishes such as delcious 'Eton mess', cheese scones, flapjacks and 'tiffin'.

We also celebrated the culinary delights of America by making pancakes, cupcakes and lemonade.

To make our Mexican students feel at home, we have also made quesadillas with chips and dips.

Tamara Shirochenkova (left) and Antonia Muellegger (below) show us how it's done...

Students Of The Week!

2011-07-17T14:04:00.015+01:00

Congratulations to Martina Beleva, from Bulgaria and Edoardo Bastianini, from Italy, for earning the 'Best Student' accolade for week 1.

Martina Beleva

and Edoardo Bastianini...

Martina and Edoardo have been given an additional purple wristband to recognise this achievement.

On receiving their award, Martina, 15, said:

"I was very suprised to be chosen as a top student and awarded the purple wrist-band. Not least because I did not know there was a purple one available! I was very suprised to hear my name; I didn't expect to be honoured.

I think I was chosen because I participate quite a lot in all the classes and activities and always try as much as I can. I also always try to be as friendly as I can with everyone.

I like the evening activities at Radley best. There is always a variety of things to do, from English classes, workshops, clubs and multi-activities, and there are always different groups of new students to meet in each."

And Eddy, aged 13, added:

"I was very happy to be given the purple wrist-band. I'm not sure why I was chosen but maybe it is because I am always happy and I like to laugh!

It is my first time in England with Discovery Summer, although I have been to lots of other summer camps in England before. DS Radley is definitely the best one!"

The countdown begins...

DS Radley ~ 15/07/2011

WE LOVE RADLEY!!

Week 1: Victorious Blues!

2011-07-16T16:34:00.013+01:00

You can see from our logo that blue and yellow are significant colours for Discovery Summer.

However, here at Radley, we have taken Discovery Summer's blue and yellow and started a colour war!

This Means WAR!

All staff and students are divided into the two colour teams and are given an appropriately coloured wrist-band to signify their allegiance.

Students earn points for their team through good behaviour, such as:

strong contribution to the social programme

support of other students

academic achievement

sporting success

or even victory in the evening programme.

However points can be deducted from a team at any time for an individual's disappointing behaviour.

After a competitve and nail-biting few days, it was finally revealed that the BLUE team were the victors (by the narrowest if margins!) of week 1!

The blue team celebrated together over dinner that was completed by fizzy drinks, special chocolates and fancy table cloths.

Victorious Blues endulging in their dinner treat

The poor yellows, with their bare-tables and regular school food, could only stare-on in envious disappointment. And to top it all off, they then had to clear the plates of the elated Blues away!

Inconsolable Yellow staff

Teacher, Gillian, is not impressed with having to clear up after the Blues...

This bitter defeat has undoubtedly spurred the Yellows on this week; they have rallied together and fought back! The score, mid-way through week 2, is 154 points to the Yellows, to only 132 points to the Blues.

The Blues must work even harder over the next few days to retain their winning status, or else they will find themselves waiting on the Yellows on Wednesday.

Keep posted to hear the results of this week's colour WAR!

RADLEY IS THE BEST!

2011-07-14T20:10:00.004+01:00

Says it all really...

Working Hard. As well as playing hard...!

2011-07-14T19:57:00.011+01:00

Judging by this blog so far, you may be forgiven for thinking that a packed social programme of excursions, sports and creative pursuits is what DS Radley is all about. And it is about all that, to some extent. Yet, aside from simply having lots of good fun, our activities are designed to encourage students to keep practicing the English language skills they work so hard on in morning classes.

We put fun into the heart of learning English. That is what DS Radley is all about!

A tour of Radley College

2011-07-14T18:34:00.016+01:00

For those of you new to this centre, for most of the year, Radley College, found just outside Oxford, is an independent boarding school for boys. However for five weeks each summer, Discovery Summer take over the campus and make it home to 'THE BEST International Summer School in England!-Fact' (Silcock G., Woodsy S., Hawkins M., Frater H., Klopotowski G., 2011).

Radley College was first founded in 1847 by Reverend William Sewell, a fellow of Exeter College, Oxford. But what's more important is that Discovery Summer have been taking it over for the last 13. It is a site steeped in history. But its modern facilites bring lots of home comforts, especially in the recently built J and K boarding houses (known here as 'socials'). Radley owns a full complement of sporting amenities, including a full -size athletics track, golf course and a large swimming pool.

The historic school buildings lie within an immaculate 800-acre estate. This estate puts Radley into the Record Books as it contains the largest continuous area of mown grass in England! Amazing! Discovery Summer students will know this area better as the stadium for the famously competitive Student-Staff Football match (Come on Staff!!)

You must now be ready for a tour of Radley through photographs. Here are a selection taken by Sennur, our Turkish Group Leader, and our resident student photographers, Martina and Constantin. Thank you very much for your snaps!

Recycled Fashion Catwalk Show

2011-07-14T17:06:00.005+01:00

Each week, our teachers run a variety of 'workshops', where students work together, honing the English skills they've learned in morning classes, to produce various exciting projects. Their creations are finally unveiled to all students and staff at Tuesday's much anticipated weekly presentation.

The first DS Radley presentation of 2011 recognised the hard work of students who produced high calibre photo-stories, music videos, magazines and comics. One group of environmentally-friendly students even made new clothes out of old, recycled materials, such as newspapers and bin-bags.

They did a remarkable job. Take a look at this video to scout potential famous fashion desginers and models of the future!

Snapshots of the Evening Entertainment...

2011-07-12T13:45:00.026+01:00

Each evening, our Social Directors and Activity Leaders host a jam-packed social programme for students to enjoy.
This is a great way for students, activity leaders and teachers to relax, chat and get to know each other better at the end of a busy day of English classes, workshops and sport.

So far we have:

enjoyed a night of funny, messy challenges in 'Do-or Die

placed our bets at the glamorous casino-night

splashed out at the pool party.

and competed as contestants on game show 'Bruce's Price is Right'.

After settling into Radley on Wednesday, we explored beautiful Oxford on Thursday.

We were given a tour of famous Christchurch College and had some time to go shopping.

This is what some of our students thought about Oxford:

"Oxford was beautiful and interesting. We bought postcards to send home. We like Oxford. It was funny!"
~ Jules, Rayan, Elien

"Oxford was really good. It was beautiful. We liked the shopping time best."

~ Elena and Arturo

"It was very nice, especially the shopping part!"

Today two new students arrived at Discovery Summer Radley. Azhar and Bradley were welcomed by Gary Silcock, the Course Director, in his office. Bradley was particularly enthusiastic about the food, though he did not really feel comfortable about handing over the money for safe keeping...

Discovery Summer RADLEY - Musical Drama: MAMMA MIA - part 4

2009-08-05T15:45:00.001+01:00

MAMMA MIA
It was the smash hit sensation of the summer!!! 25 students, activity leaders and teachers put all their energy and effort in this one performance. Long hours of rehearsals and numerous moments of joy and laughter, dance and singing. Those young artists worked really hard for two weeks so that you could enjoy their performance on stage. Well done!!

ODE to Discovery Summer RADLEY

2009-08-02T12:02:00.002+01:00

Here we are yet again in good old Radley,
but we still love it quite madly.
It has been great three weeks for most of us,
yet we still managed to cause plenty of fuss.
Most of us noticed
that staff and students bloom like lotus.
This year has been full of fun and joy,
but we still continue to annoy,
those who have made our days and activities
full of meriness, festivities and relativities.

Let me start with our boss
with who you shuld never toss.
His name is Gary,
and as we all know he is constantly merry.
He would give us strikes and birthday cakes
so we would never make anymore stupid mistakes,
like hiding in the boys or girls socials
and getting too emotional.
He will never stop answering our silly questions
and will always take our suggestions into consideration.

Now let's go to Katie Potter,
who is our Radleytrotter.
She will come to us in the flash
and will tell you not to smash
your knees, ankles and noses.
Have you met Phil and Karl,
those two never snarl.
They make our free time fun and hell
until our legs and brains swell.
They have been good friends for years
that's why we have to cheer
for them to never end
their friendship that is transcend.

Can you tell me who the tallest person in Radley is?
He always moves with a massive whizz,
as he will not do anything for free
and will rub his hands with glee.
His name is Adam 'The Flirt',
who has a great collection of shirts.
He will stop whenevr you need
but you need to know how to plead.
He likes flirting with beautiful women,
which makes him a Discovery Demon.

Who are the best Activity Leaders?
Mike, Rob, Okey, Facey,Gareth, Dan the lip reader,
Laura, Frankie, Ruth and Rose
the time with those always flows.
Thank you for making our days
fun, full of laughter and happy toes.

I myself have spent quite a lot of time with the teachers,
who believe me, in their previous lives were great preachers.
Aggie, Pilar, Nadine, Sheila and Athena the goddess of wisdom
Hopefully you will all find your way to the holiday freedom.
As for the male teachers,
I think you have been fantabulous creatures.
Vin, Alan,Jack, Wayne who's known as Flint
were always spicing up their lessons with mint.

Oh no!!! I almost forgot about Mr D'arcy,
who speakes all languages but Farsi.
Yesterday he was seen
taking some vitamins.
That made him all happy and cheerful,
but made everybody else quite tearful.
He has been an amazing company to me
and when he leaves I will be in debris.

I am sorry if I did not mention all of you,
but it would take me forever to find rhymes for you.
