On the third day of the summer school, children learned how to make a photostory of their first two days in the study centre. Using the computer software, young learners worked to create a picture timeline of activities whilst adding text, music, narrations and other cool things to their story. The end product was a long video slideshow of all these specially made modified pictures. All of the end products were saved onto a memory stick for the youngsters to take home and show off to their families and their friends back at school in September.
The afternoon consisted of nothing but practical activities on the training pitches. To start off with all athletes participated in small tag rugby games including ‘grab a tag’, ‘bulldog’ and a version of touch rugby. Having warmed up, we went onto a study centre ‘kick, pass and run’ challenge. Each child participating competed for top prize and champion status! Everyone had 3 kicks, 3 passes and 2 running challenges. Scores at the end were added up to decide the winner. All children gained 100% effort marks and focus was excellent throughout.
The last practical activity was a nice laid back game of kwik cricket. Well that is what was planned!!! All the children were still full of adrenaline and each of them put their bodies in the way to ensure the ball wouldn’t go past them. When batting, every person, including the adults made sure they were not outplayed and stepped up to make it as competitive as possible.
Overall, a very physical and competitive day had by all. A morning full of creative learning and an afternoon of high competitiveness and great skill from all the young learners!
