Disco!

On Monday night, DJ Sammy came for a visit and all the children had a great time dancing the night away. Although everyone had lots of fun, it was a bit sad that the course is nearly over!

Horse-riding

The children who chose to do horse-riding this week were very lucky on Sunday. The sun was shining and the rain had disappeared, so they were able to ride outside!







Working hard in English Workshops!

After a very successful first week of workshops, the children were keen to start on a different project for the second week. This has involved script writing for film-making, story-making with photos, dancing and singing for a musical and making puppets.




Filming the 'Kidnapping of Princess Peach'!






Learning about London

Before the children went on their final excursion to London, they did some research about the city. In class, they made posters of different landmarks in London such as Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square.

Second week



After a great day out to Leeds Castle on Tuesday, the children spent Wednesday in their English Workshops. In the afternoon, each class took it in turns to present their final pieces to the rest of the students.



On Thursday, the children spent the afternoon in their chosen clubs: Art, Dance and Sports. In the Art club, the children created a large-scale version of the english board game, Snakes & Ladders. In the dance club, the children perfected the dance routine to Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'!










In the evening, the children experienced a traditional Scottish Ceilidh, with live music and dancing!

Photo Challenge and English Skills

Last night, the Activity Leaders set the children a challenge to take as many different and funny photographs as possible. Here are a few of the best...

















This morning, all the children did brilliantly in the English lessons, so we thought we would take some class photos!








Excursion to London and Group Photo!

On Saturday, the children went to London. They went on the London Eye where you can see for miles across London.









Before the excursion, the children had chosen their own groups - so they all went shopping on Regent St with their friends!




On Sunday, we had a few big course photos taken in front of the beautiful main house at the school.
