Wine Tasting! July 29

This afternoon we soaked up the sun while tasting some delightful Australian wines.

We tasted wines from all over Australia –  including some from the famous wine regions of Margaret River in Western Australia and the Barossa Valley in South Australia.

IMG_4245

While tasting the wines, we learnt a lot about the different ways to describe the smell and taste of the different varieties, such as the palate, density and aromas. We also compared the different types of wine available in countries across the world and the numerous ways in which they are enjoyed.

After tasting the six different wines, the favourite was the Shiraz, followed closely by the Rose, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio.

Learn to Slackline! July 22

It’s another beautiful day in Byron Bay! This afternoon we enjoyed the warm sunshine while learning how to slackline with Olmo from Balance Revolution.

First we started with a few warm up stretches and exercises to teach us the importance of breathing, focus and a clear mind in slacklining.

Then we were straight up onto the slackline – with the help of Olmo at our side, of course!

After a couple of tries on the slackline, everyone agreed that though it was a challenging activity, it was a lot of fun and worth practicing to improve at it!

If you want to try it out your self, or continue practicing what you learnt today, you can find Olmo and his slacklines between Main and Clarkes beaches tomorrow!

Stay tuned next month for another visit from Olmo at the school too!
