It’s, day two and students spent the first session of the morning writing about what they did yesterday in their logbooks. This was a great way to get students to practice using the past tense to describe their day. They spent time designing the cover page of their logbooks with the camp theme: All things Easter. This means they identified elements of Easter such as bunnies, Easter eggs, chocolate, flowers etc. Here is Charles of Group 2 with a beautifully designed cover page of his logbook.

« Simon says bat »! In order to review the verbs learnt yesterday, students played a game of Simon Says.

Before playing Happy Families students had to study the cards ie. learn the professions – artist, musician, baker, chef, hairdresser etc, learn the family: brother, sister, daughter, husband, wife etc and learn their titles: Mr. Mrs. Master, Miss. They did a short game of charades to begin. Each team had 30 seconds to guess as many professions that their team member was miming.
