Day 5: Swimming pool at last!
To prepare for today’s trip to the swimming pool, the students learned about the water cycle. Ted and Jess’s class made water cycle experiments and Miguel impressed the class by telling them about condensation and evaporation. Then, the moment we’d all been waiting for –…
Day 4: Bows and Arrows and much more!
English lessons this morning were focused on sports. After the break, Ted and Jess’s classes went outside to put their new vocabulary into action in a fun-filled sports sesson on the field! I was called into Kat’s class to judge the best poster made in…
Day 3: Loving Farm Life
A quick note before the post: please check back on previous posts, as more photos might be added a day or two later. Rochelle’s class today started out with a quiz to see how much the campers could remember about their new classmates. Jess’s class…
Day 2: Full speed ahead!
A lot of campers were awake before the 8:30 alarm this morning (even though Andrea and Noema told me their room had been awake late talking!) – I think they’ll be tired tonight! We started off the day with some exercise in the beautiful morning…

Day 14 – Adventures in Ávila
The final full day of camp! How did that happen?! Straight after breakfast we set off for Ávila. The kids all sang all the way on the bus (and in English – I’m amazed how well they know the lyrics to so many songs!). When…
Day 15 – Over in the Blink of an Eye
Where did the last 15 days go? Before we knew it, it was time to say goodbye. This morning was filled with smiles, tears, hugs, exchanging phone numbers, and promises to see each other next year. I hope that happens! Each and every child has…
Day 13 – a busy one!
(Photos coming soon!) Well, the last week day of camp was certainly fun-packed! The children woke up pretty early in their tents, and helped to take them down before coming in for breakfast. Then it was straight on to the last English class of the…
Day 12 – under the stars
The day started as usual with a run round the field, before English classes. The Horses finished their booklet, and wrote stories about space. Dani told me about his group’s story, involving a platypus invasion on Mars – they’ve all got amazing imaginations! The Goats…
