In July and August 2010, the Friends of the World Holiday Camp made its debut run in Hai Men city Jiangsu Province in China. Our teachers had the opportunity to work with 2 kindergartens and a total of 73 children.
The team of 4 teachers from Singapore and United Kingdom combined their teaching artistry in a memorable collaboration. Through an integrated language approach which featured phonics, conversational English, speech and drama and performance arts, the children were exposed to a holistic learning experience and a progressive mastery of English speaking skills. The programme lasted 4 weeks and culminated in a dramatic stage performance of The Giant in The Community.
Congratulations to all teachers and students involved in the project and a special thanks to the staff at Children's Palace Kindergarten and Dong Zhou Kindergarten for their superb hospitality and support during the camp. See you all again soon!
