English Camp 2012

Once again we held our annual English Camp for Year 1 and 2 students. This year we also had visitors from NMIT in New Zealand, Winchester University in England, and Royal Roads and VIU in Canada. WE had two days of glorious weather as we traveled to Kuju in central Kyushu. On the way, we stopped at Mt Takasaki in Oita before finally getting to Kuju Kogen Cottage—the resort we would be using for the camp. After a quick lunch, we had an opening ceremony, followed by an International Fair where students could interview our visitors about their schools. After a little free time. we all sat down to a delicious BBQ dinner, followed by our skit performance. All the classes, visitors and teachers put on skits, many of which were hilarious. The next morning we completed a postcard writing activity and a goal setting activity before lunch. Then, after lunch we drove to Taketa to eat Japanese confectionary at a traditional shop and explored the shopping area. Finally, we reboarded the buses for the long trip back. A very busy, but fun two days!
