English Urban Summer Camp: Day 16

It’s Monday again, some children are starting new at our summer camp and others are in their second fortnight with us.

Today we have been looking at a new musical instrument used in Brazil. It is very popular and is even sacred for some.

We have looked into basic information about this instrument, such as how it is made and what it is used for.

Also we finished colouring our brazilian flowers to stick on our outfit which we have been making during our craft sessions.

Our pool time has not been forgotten as a cool off is very much needed. With a splish splash splosh!! Great start to the week!

English Urban Summer Camp: Day 15

They say Friday is the best day of the week and in our camp it certainly was!

In the morning we planted lavender seeds with Groups 3 and 4, they watered their seedbeds while groups 1 and 2 were preparing their costumes for the festival.

After breakfast, we did a Gymkhana. The first ones were groups 3 and 4 who enjoyed the 3 courses we prepared, a relay race with their shoes tied together, a wheelbarrow race and then a small assault course whereas groups 1 and 2 were having loads of fun in the pools. Then came their turn, they all did a small assault course and then a very fun and different race, an ANIMAL race, we made teams of 8 or 9, and each team member was an animal for example a donkey and that person had to walk in all fours and do the animals’ noise. Groups 3 and 4 went to the pools to have fun and relax after the different trials.

And like that, another week has gone by.

See you all on Monday with more fun!
