November Holiday Programme 2023
Travel, play dates, and a dash of… Holiday Programme? Before you(r children) groan at the idea of more work this holiday, check out our two different programmes this November!
English Adventure Camp
“Show, not tell.” “Write with feeling.”
Your child has probably heard these a thousand times! But… What does it truly mean?
In this programme, students will be exposed to a variety of different scenarios, settings, and backstories. Walk into a classroom transformed into a forest and learn to pick up how and what to describe, instead of just pasting in good phrases, and experience what it's like to be someone else by literally walking in their shoes, and more!
In short, children will experience the compositions that they write. Through props, decorations and special effects, we create the environment and situations that will allow students to encounter the scenarios that they normally write about in their compositions, as well as have unique hands-on experiences that enable them to write both realistically and creatively.
*Lunch is included.
