Today the teachers taught 3 forty five minute classes which started after assembly which Merche led. The topic of the English classes was “Leisure time and sports”. To begin and warm up teachers took a small part of each class to review the previous days lessons such as body parts, food topics and sang some songs. After the warm ups new vocabulary about Leisure was brainstormed and taught, pronunciation and basic sentence structures were also worked on. Teachers had students do activities like word searches, role playing, poster making and also played Bingo games.
After lunch the children had siesta time and had the choice to either take a rest, talk with friends or take part in a “footballing” tournament with Javi and Nico. At 4:30 the entire camp headed down to the swimming pool where everybody enjoyed swimming and eating their merienda. We left a little earlier than usual, at 6:00 in order to be back at camp to play a game organized by Elli. The game consisted of 8 stations where families had to take part in a different activity made up by each teacher or monitor.
Some tasks involved students getting very dirty with water and flour as well as paint, and other active tasks. It was a great game as they all enjoyed it and took a lot of energy from them as well! At 8:00 the campers were given their mobiles and most had to take showers! After dinner students took part in an activity where they had to make a container and a parachute that would protect a raw egg when it was thrown from a window of a high building.
During this time the staff got ready for the evenings “Night of Terror”. We all dressed up in different scary outfits which consisted of characters such as Freddy Cooger, a mummy, zombies, dead people ect… Campers were brought through the different rooms within the residency where us teachers/monitors were stationed.
Scary music was played and all lights were off. Campers had to find where we were all hiding and collect a picture from each of us. At the end the families who had successfully obtained all 8 photos received points. It was a very successful activity as many students really enjoyed being scared.
Some were too scared and so did not participate however the groups feedback after the activity was very positive and everybody was smiling and laughing about it all.

After lunch, people of Interacting came to do a performance named "Wild wild west". A few of us performed with they, it was so funny. Afterwards we went to the swimming pool till 20:00.
Salamanca, Salamanca, Salamanca...what a beautiful city. We headed on out of caminomorisco around 10:30...ready for our adventure in an unknown city. All we had was a map, a compass, and javier´s great sense of direction. Throughout the bus ride, we entertained ourselves with Mission Impossible (the movie). Unfortunately, the movie was interrupted by the vomit of several of the kids in the bus. Apart from that, it was a very fun bus ride where we sang songs (some in spanish, others in english), laughed, and some of us slept to catch up on some sleep.
