The Fettes Busy Bee

The emblem of Fettes College is the bee. Because it is busy, creative and works together - just like our students!


Ghost Tour

Last night was fun. The students were taken on a ghost story tour organised by the activity leaders. The tour went around the old building of Fettes College. Of course, it wasn't TOO scary!










Working Together

One of the afternoon projects involved working in groups to build a tower of marshmallows and spaghetti. The students had a limited budget so it involved a lot of communication, frustration and fun!

A Wonderful Evening at the Talent Show

Last night there was a very special event. There was a talent show. The Tokai boys were amazing. They all performed in front of about 180 people! Students from all the other countries performed too. Although the boys were very nervous, the audience loved them! Mr. Imasato also performed the SMAP song, The Only Flower in The World and some of the boys joined him on stage. There were performances of magic, music, kendama and some students even gave the audience a Japanese lesson. We were very proud of the students. Very proud indeed. It was a lovely evening and great fun. Well done!







Violin and Juggling!

Camera Obscura Visit

In the morning, some of the group visited a museum of optical illusions in town called Camera Obscura. It's an amazing attraction near Edinburgh Castle all about light, optical illusions and so on. The boys really enjoyed it.
