Crepe Making Competition!

Posted on September 30, 2019 by Lexis | Byron Bay

Friday afternoon we had my personal favourite activity for the month..

The Crepe Making Competition!

We followed the following simple recipe to make the crepe mixture:

~~~~

INGREDIENTS

4 cups plain flour
A few pinches of salt
4 eggs
4 cups of milk

METHOD

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Blend until smooth. Add a little water and mix to desired consistency. Cover and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
Heat a medium non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Spray with cooking oil. Using 1/4 cup mixture per pancake, pour batter over pan, tilting from side to side so batter covers base in a thin film. Cook pancake for about 1 minute or until underside is golden, then use a spatula to flip. Cook other side for just under a minute until golden. Repeat with remaining mixture, spraying pan with cooking oil between pancakes.

We had a wide range of delicious ingredients to decorate our masterpieces with including; nutella, whipped cream, nuts, bananas, strawberries, blue berries, golden syrup, coconut, hundreds and thousands, chocolate fingers and icing sugar

There was plenty of mixture to go around, so we all made ourselves multiple crepes to enjoy! The competition was judged on creativity and appearance.

Congratulations to Filipa for her beautiful love heart design! She is our crepe making champion for the month! I was especially impressed with how your crepe was a perfect circel 😉 Well done!

New Students! September 30th

Posted on September 30, 2019 by Lexis | Byron Bay

A warm welcome to our 5 new students joining us at Lexis Byron Bay this week.

Martin is from Madrid, Spain. He lives near the center of the city in a loft style apartment. His passion is boxing. He is lucky where he lives, as it is close to his boxing gym. Martin has been studying electronic engineering and business management for the last six and a half years and has recently finished. He is here in Australia to improve his English and to have a good time 🙂

Alice is from the Italian speaking part of Switzerland. She enjoys playing sports. When she was young she practiced gymnastics, but as she got older, she needed something more dynamic. This lead her to become a triathlete. She hopes to continue to train whilst here in Australia. In the future, Alice, thinks that she may like to study hotel management or study at a school of sports. She has not made up her mind yet, so for now she just wants to enjoy her time in Australia.

Jules is from France. He loves swimming and since he has arrived in Australia he has been swimming every morning in the sea. He has recently finished his masters degree in law and now he is here to improve his English for his future career. He choose to come to Australia for the beautiful weather and beaches.

Marc is from Spain. His hobbies include, climbing mountains, football, horse riding and surfing. In Spain he works as a computer scientist. He has been working hard ever since graduating and is now looking forward to traveling and gaining personal experiences.

Marine is from Belgium. She likes to travel and discover the world. In the future she would like to study event management, but first she hopes to improve her English because she believes it is very important for her future goals. It has always been a dream to come to Australia and she hopes to make the most of her time here and meet many wonderful people.

Hip Hop with Mina! September 25th

Posted on September 27, 2019 by Lexis | Byron Bay

On Wednesday we had Byron’s best Hip Hop dance teacher come and take us for another fun filled lesson!

Mina always starts her hip hop lesson with a full on warm-up, to get our bodies ready. We then got straight into learning a routine.

Mina gave us the option of learning a fast paced routine, or something a bit slower.. nobody was quick enough to speak up, so she went with a fast paced routine to challenge us.

There was some tricky floor work involved, but everyone nailed it 🙂

Keep an eye on our Lexis Byron Bay Facebook page for upcoming dance classes with Mina or catch her with her dance crew every Monday at The Beach Hotel for Reggae Night 😀

Beach Kangaroo Campout

Posted on September 25, 2019 by Lexis | Byron Bay

Hey Legends

What an epic weekend we had at the campout …. everyone is still buzzing …. one student from the weekend has already paid today to come on the next campout !!! Super keen ….

Thanks to all the students who sent the photos in to me… absolute legends !!!!!

The students were greeted by the resident kangaroos on arrival…..

Learning how to fish was a really awesome experience …. as you can see Aline hasn’t quite grasped the idea of fishing ……. LOL

Romy, now safe from being caught as a fish, is finally now relaxing …. showing Aline the correct way to fish….’in the water’

The campers stopped for lunch and had an encounter with a Diamond Python….. these snakes are non-venomous. They become most active in November, looking for mates and laying eggs. … As well as being non-poisonous, the Diamond Python is one of the most placid snakes in Australia, rarely hissing or threatening people.

Check her out ……

She’s massive …. her whole body isn’t even in the photo !! WOW ….

Check out this awesome setup… Mark is such a legend…. he went down on Friday and had it all setup for the students….

Good to see you guys didn’t pack too much booze.. i’ve been told this is just the drinks for lunch ……. ???

Amazing sunrises and sunsets

I love these photos .. some of you guys got pretty close … how cool

This big guy here obviously doesn’t miss a day at the gym haha … He’s MASSIVE but looks super chill LOL

What an awesome place to camp at aye !!!!

Boomerang Painting! September 19th

Posted on September 20, 2019 by Lexis | Byron Bay

Yesterday afternoon’s activity was Boomerang Painting.

It was a stunning afternoon so we decided to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine!

In Aboriginal culture it is common to see the style of painting where a lot of tiny dots are painted to create a specific shape. These shapes or symbols often represent things relevant to aboriginal culture.

Fabbi had the brilliant idea to bring along some cotton-tips. We used these to make the perfect tiny dots. I was so impressed!! They look just like the ones you can buy in a store. I hope you keep them as a nice memory from your time here in Australia and at Lexis Bryon Bay.

Hey Legends

Thanks to DJ Johnny for the awesome pictures of this weeks student party night…. The evening kicked off at Aquarius Backpackers where they had a free meal and happy hour drinks ………. ooooo nachos YUMMY!!!

They look like a very responsible group of students to me ……

and then Johnny happened …..

What an absolute legend …. and stud by the looks of things ….

A little disappointed there is no table dancing shots!!!!!

Looks like our crew at Byron Bay Touring Co and Happy Travels have out done themselves again.. organising another awesome evening for these crazy party animals

Ive seen some sore heads today walking around the recreation room at lunch time…. ‘good effort’ well done for turning up to class…..

Soccer! September 18th

Posted on September 19, 2019 by Lexis | Byron Bay

Wednesday afternoon we had our scheduled Soccer match against Byron Bay English Language School (BBELS). On this particular afternoon it was also Chilean Independence Day. To celebrate, the students decided to cook a BBQ and enjoy some traditional Chilean music at the student accommodation.. It was a great celebration, but sadly, this meant that not many students were up for playing soccer..

Lucky for us, BBELS had a great turn out and those students who were keen to play could still enjoy a game. We started by choosing our teams, mixing the Lexis students with the BBELS. It was a fantastic game to watch, as there were many skilled players.

We played four 15 minute quarters. Naoki scored the last goal to make the final score 4 all.. Of course we couldn’t finish on a tie so we had one more 10 minute tie breaker round which was intense to watch.

On the walk home we meet this cute little guy who just topped off the lovely afternoon!

Thanks to our awesome students who made it down to play. We will have another game next month against BBELS, and possibly a beach volleyball game as well. Keep an eye on the activity calendar for more information 🙂

Sushi Making! September 13th

Posted on September 17, 2019 by Lexis | Byron Bay

Friday afternoon’s activity was the art of Sushi Making.

There was some discussion in the beginning about the best method to cook the rice. We decided to use the rice cookers and hope for the best. They have proven to be unreliable in the past, but lucky for us, this time, they worked perfectly!! After the sushi rice was cooked, we added rice vinegar, caster sugar and salt to make the perfect sticky consistency for sushi rolls.

While the rice was cooking, we prepared the vegetables, salmon and tuna. We sliced carrots, capsicum, cucumber and avocado into long strips. We also added mayonnaise to the tuna for flavour.

Then it was time to roll..

We used cling film on our bamboo mats to prevent the yaki nori (seaweed) from sticking.

We placed some rice on the bottom 1/4 of the yaki nori and then added our choice of fillings on top. We then simply rolled the mats to create our masterpieces!

We had pickled ginger, soy sauce, wasabi and mayonnaise to compliment our sushi.

Everyone enjoyed their fresh sushi. Easy to make + delicious! Whats not to love? <3
