The Fourth Day (Family Presentation Day)

Thursday started off as usual with music being played at 8:30 am to wake everybody up and get them ready for breakfast at 9. Everybody enjoyed a breakfast consisting of Chocolate milk, sweet cakes, tostadas, and of course CHURROS!!! In order for families to receive more points many students have started to take it upon themselves to help clean the cafeteria after breakfast by wiping down tables, pushing in chairs and making sure the room is ready for the next meal.

After a short assembly where daily news and the days schedule was reported, students were given time to work on their family songs and dances which were going to be presented in the evening in front of the entire camp. After the children practiced for a while and felt prepared they had their regular morning english classes. The theme of days classes was "Body Parts". The children were taught names of body parts and then played games such as "Simon Says" and sang songs such as "Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes" in order to help them work on their memory of new learned vocabulary and also on pronunciation.

Lunch was at 2:00 as usual and many families made the effort to sit together and all wear their family color in order to receive more points. During siesta students rested, talked with friends, and played some "Footballing". Headed by Nico and Javi, a little footballing tornament has started and its getting very competitive!!! At 4:30 everybody got ready to go to the swimming pool. At the pool games were played in the water, children talked with friends and like always there were a few sneaky individuals who would walk around trying to push others into the water. Its fun, but the water is a little cold and gives you a shock when you are thrown in by surprise!!! After some swimming many children relax and eat their snacks which usually consist of a bocadillo of salami, lomo or cheese and they also buy a few sweets from the store.

Games were led by the monitors after the swimming session and today they played a type of trivial pursuit game in their family groups where they had to answere questions about funny topics. Families were rewarded points for correct answeres. Later a water balloon game was played and many children ended up getting a cold shower as water balloons were thrown at

them by the monitors!!

From 8:00 to 9:00 the children took time to talk to their family members and friends on their mobile phones and take showers. After Dinner at 9:00 everybody got together in the library to begin the evenings fiesta and talent show! One by one each family came up to the front of the class and presented their family posters which included their name, color, and slogan. In addition they all presented a short song and dance. Everybody did an excenllent job and the evening was very intertaining! I believe there are some very talented individuals at our camp who will no doubt be Spains future celebritie actors and singers! To end the evening lights were dimmed and everybody participated in a mini disco! Great music, lots of energy and dance moves like you have never seen before!!! How time passes when you are having fun! Before we knew it, it was time for bed and the evening came to an end. Oh well! There are many more days left and many more fun activities to take part in. Until tomorrow!
