“The cooking of the food was great and eating outside was very enjoyable. This is the first time I ever had roasted marshmallows! The teamwork was excellent and Emils was a great navigator with his map reading. His timing was also very impressive. I enjoyed the second day more, mainly because of the faster pace and less map work. This was my first DofE trip and I would like to do it again!”
Ms Anna Kolpachkova – Supervisor and PE teacher

“After walking for 23km we didn't feel tired at all. It was a lot of fun cooking ourselves, toasting marshmallows, playing card games, sleeping in tents and waking up in the morning to the singing of birds and not only birds.😁
The students showed excellent teamwork and took care of each other. It was a pleasure to spend time with them. I am very happy to be a part of DofE 2023 and of course ready to do it again!”
Ms Nura Abdumamatova – Supervisor and Year 5 teaching assistant

Happy Children's Day! Today at EIS Moscow we had excellent lessons, led by our students, about spiders, flags, dancing, art, science and division! We were very impressed with their organisation with students writing full lessons plans, making posters, printing tests and pictures in advance of the lessons. It was wonderful to see the children deal with behaviour management issues as the teachers acting as students were sometimes unruly!

On Wednesday, EIS Year 10 to Year 13 attended the Pushkin Art Gallery with Ms Fox and a cohort of other teachers. The students were given the opportunity to visit the local Art gallery for further inspiration and engagement during their iGCSE course. As an aside, it is held in high regard with exam boards if students do visit museums/ galleries and reference this within their art portfolios.
