We played loads of games up by the field and had the kids running around and dancing with games like musical chairs and freeze dance. In English class  we prepared for our exciting carnival game on Saturday. My students prepared...

Another beautiful sunny day at camp! Today was a relaxing day with lots of preparation for the carnival on Saturday.

Today we took advantage of the great weather by playing games outside in the morning. Then we all had English class. My class used the time to prepare our dart toss game. We drew the background and coloured it in. Then we answered some questions about the trip to Astorga. In the afternoon we had more English class. We reviewed vocabulary about rock climbing, caving and archery. I also had the students complete a text...

Today was a lovely day back at the camp.  Breakfast woke us up properly and we started off with the DUEL OF THE DAY.  This is when two classes go head to head in a battle devised by the English teachers.  On Tuesday it was a race to see which class could carry a Ping Pong ball on a piece of paper held flat between two people back and forth.  Today it was wheelbarrow races, and it was very...

Our trip to Astorga was so much fun! It was certainly a long day, but it was definitely worth it! We were able to visit 3 different spots in the city and each one was unique and special.  Our first stop was the chocolate museum. This stop was perhaps our favorite =) We were able to learn about how chocolate is made through a short video. It is actually quite a complaicted process! We also looked at some exhibits...

Today during our game session we played a really fun new game. It's called Foxes and Chickens! Here's how it works: First 4 campers are selected to be foxes and the rest of the group are chickens. The chickens walk around the field until one of the teachers asks the foxes: "What time is it?!" The foxes must reply with an hour time such as five o'clock. In that case all the chickens must try to form groups of five....

After starting the day with breakfast, the happy campers got their money and a fruit snack before getting on the coach for the excursion to Astorga. The coach trip of singing came to an end when we reached the outskirts of Astorga, where we walked 3km along the Camino de Santiago towards the city. There was a sigh of relief every time we reached and seeked refuge in the shade from the heat. As we got near the city,...
