Fushan Summer Camp - Week 2

This past week we learned a new song by Bonnie M called Sunny. It has a really fun beat with many new English words for the students to learn.

We also did Literacy Centers, in these centers the students got to do speaking, reading, writing and making activities.


The students had the opportunity to visit a job experience theme park where they got to create real life scenarios of various careers such as: bakers, inn keepers, archeologists, dentists, textile makers, artists and others. By doing this the children got to stimulate their potential and interest and use their co-ordination as well as teamwork through a hands-on experience. Our class loved their fake money and really enjoyed their day. We played many speaking activities prior to going on our trip including some key vocabulary:

What do you want to be?
I want to be a ________________ (doctor, lawyer, dentist, teacher, scientist).

On Thursday we had gym class and got to play some American sports, last week we played dodgeball, this week we played soccer .Friday is always fun day so the students did some arts and crafts activities, later we did computer studies with BBC English Kids.

Fushan Summer Camp - Week 1

This week we have been very busy getting to know each other. I am happy to have such a wonderful class! 

The first day we learned each others names with meet and greet activities. 
We talked about each others countries and played a "Where are you from?" game. 
The students got to know about various kinds of weather and the days of the week. 
We also talked about what we like and don't like. 

The students enjoyed singing many songs that I am sure they will want to share with you including: 

  • Hello Goodbye by the Beatles
  • Do you like it?
  • ABC Phonics chant


Can't wait for an even more exciting week 2! See you then :)
