Back to Work

After an adventurous weekend in Warsaw, Monday was back to work day.  English-learning projects for the day included building an ideal city or emphasizing the basic who, what, where and when words.  Another group played word bingo and the antonym memory game.  Another group used letter stickers to make their name and then found words for each letter of their name, totaling 30 words by each student. Once they had identified these English words they added the Polish translation.

The fourth hour lessen was a presentation of Great Britain by Niki, one of the Polish English teachers. His students  first presented basic facts about Great Britain in both English and Polish. Then followed many questions for Niki, many of the questions centering on futbol.  The boys at camp at last found a well-informed teacher who could describe his favorite players and teams.

The campers also met two teens visiting their Polish family. They will be volunteering at camp this week.  They will do presentations about their homes in the United States and Canada later this week.

In the afternoon we went to the nearby village, Cisie, to visit a primary school at which Global Volunteers has provided teaching volunteers for many years as well as financial assistance through the Poland sponsorship program. The principal showed us the classrooms which contained a bright colorful atmosphere for learning.  It was impressive.

 

After supper (delicious cheese pierogi), the campers had a game "Blind Date.”  Our own Sara was a candidate and was chosen for a date!
