Clearing

After the tasty lunch and the afternoon snack everybody was busy clearing the classrooms and the staff room.
Our mighty counselors - Tseren and Igor - had to carry heavy things downstairs at school and then again upstairs back at university!

Closing Ceremony: South

Cotton Kids showed two videos and one sketch "Let's Get Married".

One video used the stylistics of the famous "Star Wars" and introduced the epic power of the White Team. The campers saw one day of the Summer Camp life in the second video.

The sketch demonstrated various talents of their campers.

One of the touching moments: Happy Birthday, Erdem K.!

Closing Ceremony: Middle Atlantic

The 3Gs sang and danced. I liked their enthusiasm.

Honey Bees made the audience laugh when they performed the first sketch "The Casting on The First Day". Mergen A. is a brilliant actor.

Then they danced.

Around the USA in One Hour

Our traditional activity has started!

Five teachers representing the five regions of the USA prepared many exciting tasks for the campers.

Five different stations have been organized.

Sports: Bakul

Good command of any skills!

Creation of Nation: Tamara

The campers drew the symbols of the USA Independence after they had explored Pennsilvania.

Great States: Tatiana

Play and learn, especially at lessons!

Presidents' Rhyme: Baira

What a rhyme to watch and have fun!

I've found one more - 'rap'rhyme!

Watch, enjoy and learn the names of the USA Presidents!

Nicknames of USA States: Galina

The USA through the nicknames of the states! Is it fascinating to explore?!

First Mr and Miss Narn Sun

Never before there has been such an event: choosing Mr and Miss Summer Camp!


Each team did a great job. The contestants were supported by their teams. Everybody took part in the competition that could be compared to the concert.

During the first round the contestants danced, recited, sang. They are so talented!

The second round turned out rather difficult: the would-to-be Mr or Miss Camp was to mime the quotation of the day and the Mr or Miss was to guess.

The third prize went to Dayana and Ayuka from the "Red Team".
The second prize went to Ayush and lera from "Cotton Kids" "White Team'.
The winners are the contestants from the Honey Bees "Yellow Team". They are Lyuba and Vitaliy!

Volleyball

Volleyball can be played anywhere and at any time. The campers enjoy playing this exciting game!

Jack Be Friendly: Tamara

Tamara K substituted Andrey. The campers learned a lot and they finished the lesson with the chant:

Jack, be friendly,
Don't be shy,
Don't forget to say good-bye!

Creativity: Baira

"Cotton Kids" is the name of Baira's team. But at her lessons all campers have become 'cotton kids': they have created these wonderful things.

Give me a Home: Bakul

The campers explored the USA Regions through the famous song and the notion of 'home'. They gave their own definitions of an ideal home.

"Home on the Range" is the state song of Kansas. Do you want to listen to the song?

Important For Speech

I enjoyed that workshop by Svetlana Suchkova very much. Svetlana invited her audience to join her fascinating lessons by miming, reciting, standing up, etc. Svetlana is a real teacher and teacher trainer!

Fabulous Fay Fence

David Fay, English Language Officer, (The ELO, Moscow) presented one format of teaching/learning in such a fabulous way that we gave him a thunderous ovation! He spoke of public hearing. David used the old case of the installation Running Fence. During his speech we made a 'clothes line' of a perfect teacher's qualities.
