Summing Up (2) Ireland

I have collected all the blog links describing the teacher's work at this Summer Camp at the lessons.

Bye, Mike!

Mike and his Red Team during Team Time

Today the Access teachers have gathered to say goodbye to Michael F., our dear Fulbrighter.
He managed to survive in our climate. He managed to become irreplaceable.

Dearest Mike, we expect you to come back!

Summing Up (1)

New features of that Summer Camp

Time Flies

The clocks in the classrooms helped the teachers, counselors and campers to be on time.
Goodbye, campers!


July Posts will be Summing Up.

Staff Room

This is our Staff Room that has been the place for meetings and shelter.

Closing Ceremony: Green Irish Emerald's Lessons

Green Irish Emerald parodied the teachers and their lessons. That's another me and my huge list of words!
Those are smiles of the parodied authorities.

Closing Ceremony: Yellow Submarine's Legend

Yellow Submarine discovered a new version of the captain James Cook's story.

Closing Ceremony: Orange Cheetos' Travelling Story

The Orange Cheetos travelled around the world as the shaman advised them to do so. The King Chester visited all our five English-speaking countries.

Closing Ceremony: Red Brats Travelling Story

The Red Team started the wonderful talent show.

They produced a fairy tale with Baba Yaga, the dance lezghinca, Kalmyk musical instrument and the unknown tribe.

Closing Ceremony: Words of the Day

The Powerpoint presentation "Words of the Day" proved once more that our campers are great talents! Only some of the illustrations were shown.

Closing Ceremony: Songs through Pictures

The Summer Camp listened to three more songs and watched splendid illustrations made by the campers at the lessons "Ireland Through Comps". Just one e-picture from Mergen A. (Yellow Submarine)!
"Molly Malone"

The campers sang along here too. Then the rest of the pictures will be published.

Closing Ceremony: Singing Along

The closing ceremony started with the mottoes and cheers of the teams. Then the floor was given to Galina V.Z. The campers sang along the songs of Kylie Minogue.

Keeping good memories

So, our Summer Camp is over. Think, it was a great success, this was my first experience in summer camp and I really enjoyed it. Someone said today at the closing ceremony that the eyes of the kids when they were working together or dramatising something on the stage were worth coming to the Camp. They really were! The kids loved what they were doing. Thank you, Summer Camp!

NATE Impressions

Our teachers have returned! Having arrived late at night they managed to come to the Summer Camp in the early morning.

On June 25 there was a workshop "Access Microscholarship Program in Russia" under the guidance of V. Shvaiko (Ufa Access).

On June 26and on June 27
Our manager Bossia K. participated in several sections: she reported on
"Lessons in Kindness - Accessing English Through Students' Stories" and "Acquiring English as a Second Language in the USA: Some Practical Implications for Language Teaching".
Bossia K. showed the book of the Access students' stories.

Reading the XV NATE Conference program I met several names of the online course Alumni.
I expect our teachers to share their impressions on Kazan NATE.

Filming

The centre of the city was greatly impressed by the rainbow of the teens and adults in bright T-shirts. Not only our Media Team, but also some citizens took a lot of pictures of the campers. But only our Media Team is going to film the campers.

Оньдин цаhан хаалhта болтн!

Let the road always be white!

Almost all our teachers are leaving for Kazan / Казань to take part in the NATE conference.

Prize Goes To...

Big and smaller pizzas were the delicious prizes! I think everybody got hungry after travelling around five countries for only one hour!

No Russian!
