This year, our traditional “English breakfast” took place on Wednesday the 21st
of February.
All pupils of the 3rd year got well prepared beforehand, during the lessons of English.
The typical “English breakfast” is still known throughout the world, but in Britain it’s not as “typical” anymore as we often think. A lot of British do not longer have the time to prepare such an elaborate dish. But on the Scheppers Institute, we like hard work and traditions, don’t we…?
Thus, on Wednesday morning, all English teachers had to get up very early, because it’s always a real challenge to prepare such a traditional English breakfast for more than 100 hungry students.
The students, dressed in British school style, were offered coffee, tea, orange juice, toasts, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, beans in tomato sauce, jam, porridge,..: these are the typical ingredients of a real English Breakfast.
After the breakfast, all pupils participated in our English Breakfast Quiz. The winners, from the group “OK”, were rewarded with a cinema ticket for Kinepolis Ghent.
We also organized a competition for the “best dressed student”. This year’s winners were Danté De Bilde (3TWA), Bas Joiris (3ET) and Tilde De Vriendt (3BIO). Even they all got a ticket for the cinema. Have fun!
Some reactions of our students:
“It was a good way to start a school day with your classmates. My favourite was the food and the interesting quiz.” (Toine Croes, 3TWB)
“I really liked the full English breakfast, because you could try different ingredients which you have never eaten for breakfast, for example the baked beans.” (Fabian Fiermans, 3ET)
“I liked the bacon, the sausages , the beans and the porridge.” (Noor Braeckman, 3BIO)
“What a nice way to have breakfast with your fellow students! My favourite ingredients were the scrambled eggs and the sweet crispy bacon.” (Bas Joiris, 3ET)
Without any doubt, our English breakfast was a big success again.
