After the pool, it was time for dodgeball: monitors x campers!
At this time, the battery of the camera had to be charged, so there are no photos. :(

There was a surprise cake for Mariana, whose birthday will be celebrated this month.


After that, we presented our projects of the day.

The day started sunny and beautiful.
We had a nice breakfast: toast, cheese, banana cake, bread with homemade jams, papaya and orange juice.

And then, snacktime again... delicious balls of cheese and banana cake.


 More competition... boys x girls!









After all this mess, we took a warm shower and enjoyed a couple more activities at project time.
The smell is delicious around the kitchen and we will soon have dinner and get ready for more night fun.
We will update you about that at any time.

P.S. At the moment, it is not raining.

DAY ONE

We arrived at the airport at 1 o'clock on Sunday afternoon.
We did our check in and said goodbye to our family members!



At the airport, we were divided in three groups for a better organization of the trip.

THE YELLOW GROUP



THE BLUE GROUP



THR GREEN GROUP




At the boarding room, we waited for the flight call.










When we were finally called, we got into the gate to get on the plane, at 3 o'clock p.m.!






In the plane, we had a big party in the takeoff.
We ate a delicious snack: a hot sandwich, passion fruit pudding and soda or juice.
We loved the flight and the turbulence!








We finally arrived in São Paulo at about 4:25 p.m.



We had to take a bus to get to the terminal.



We went to the baggage claim to get our luggage.





We met the English Camp leaders who were waiting for us at Guarulhos airport!





We then took another bus to get to the English Camp.
It was about 2 hours 30 minutes drive, but we had a lot of fun playing games and rested a little for the activities that were waiting for us at the Camp.




WE FINALLY ARRIVED AT THE ENGLISH CAMP!
It was night already, after 7:25 p.m.
We made a vow, a promise, that we would only speak English!




We had dinner...



 played some other games and finally went to sleep, because tomorrow there is
MUCH MORE!

  29. I´m really worried about last days because I´m thinking that my son (Gui S.)was forgot at the airport !!! I didn´t see any photograph of him !!!
    I´m joking, but I just see one or two ! Where are you Gui ? Appear please ! I´m missing you and crazy to see you at the photos ! Many kisses ! Giani

    PS. Teacher Dani, if the Gui´s suitcase is difficult to close in the last day, leave the pillow at the camp because is old and is not a problem to leave there. Thank´s !

  33. Alunos e profs
    Este é o verdadeiro valor de uma experiência...O aprendizado que todos estão tendo, a convivência, os desafios, a resolução de problemas, o expor-se nas mais diversas situações, a adaptação a uma rotina diferente, regras diferentes, enfim, tudo isso voltará na bagagem e é algo que não se perde, ninguém tira, estará sempre com voces. Este tipo de vivência, muito mais do que o aprendizado formal é que fará diferença na vida de todos voces. Um grande abraço cheio de orgulho (de pertencer a este grupo através do meu filho).
    Beijos com saudades pra ti Pedro!

    Foram dias de muita aprendizagem e superação, volto orgulhosa da postura deste grupo que soube aproveitar todos os momentos com muita alegria demonstrando coleguismo e segurança nas atividades propostas.
    Parabéns a vocês alunos da 5a série A e B por traduzir de forma tão linda o resultado do trabalho de todos estes anos de Oswaldo Cruz.

  42. WHAT CAN I SAY??? I'M A VERY PROUD TEACHER!!! You guy were the best! I'm sure no one will ever forget the fun, the games, the laughs, the bugs, the yummy food... so many things, so little time! I am glad I had the chance to live this experience with you guys. I'd also like to thank your parents for trusting us their most precious ones - YOU - and for preparing such a warm welcome. My final words: keep on studying, practicing, 'immersing' and getting better and better both as students of English and as your awesome selves! Loads of kisses, CHEERS!

  45. Olá, gente boa!

    Mesmo representando a Língua Portuguesa, penso que estes dias de English Camp foram extraordinários! Ter muitos e significativos momentos de uso da língua inglesa contribuíram/ contribuem para a real aprendizagem de uma segunda língua e, por que não, para pensarmos a nossa língua materna.

    Mesmo "quientinha", pois não podia falar em português, curti cada minuto com vcs!

    Vocês foram 10! Parabéns para todos!

    Bjus grandes, sora Bina :)

  46. hehehe... enganei-me na digitação acima...

  47. Dear students and followers of this blog,
    I am still recovering from the days at the Camp. They were fabulous but I am very tired. I have this terrible flu and I hope I fell better tomorrow to teach you!
    I want to say you were all great and I am very proud of being your teacher. Paula and other 4th graders... wait for next year. I am sure it will be great too!
    Kisses, teacher Dani.
