I have just completed five amazing days at the Saints Study Centre.
We did lots of fantastic activites such as ,
Circus skillsi was my favourite. A man called Kevin came in and taught us how to use circus eqipment. It was so exciting, we got to try all of the differnet equipment and at the end we did a preformance in front of the other people.
But thats not all we have done!! We also had a day about Shakespeare, this was also a lot of fun as a man dressed in Shakesperian clothes taught us about William Shakespear and we got to play out MacBeth. It was very goury but also much fun as we got our own parts to play in the performance at the end of the session.
On the fourth day we had a WHOLE morning on Maths but it wasn’t just boring maths though. We got lots of different games and activities. we had our own team name and my group nearly came 1st!!! We had about ten minutes on each task , then we had to move on to a differnt set of tasks. The winning group at the end got a certificate, but we all did very well.
During the time that we were here. Every afternoon we got to play rugby , with a Saints rugby teacher!. It was soo good , we played tag rugby aganist other people in a differnt teams. My favourite game was the clap and catch game where you had to clap your hands before the ball got to you or else you had to go one knee and so on. As a treat we got to play other games if we did well in the rugby game.
We went on the computer alot of the time, which was really good. We made postcards and badges and did all sorts of stuff with powerpoint, wordart, it was soo fun!!. We also got introduced to “iamlearniong” which enables us to revise for different subjects at the study centre and back home or in school. It is agreat learning tool which I can go on now I have been to the Saints Study Centre! How cool is that!!
Our final activity was to create a Photostory about Circus Skills which involved inserting photos, editing the photos, creating different transitions, motion and duration, creating our own background music and commentating on the photographs.
I really enjoyed myself and hope that I could come back soon!!.
