Fun English Camp at Haengdang Elementary School    [19-08-2010] From July 20 to 30, the students at Haengdang Elementary School in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, participated in a special English camp. They could learn English in fun ways at the 10-day-long school camp while enjoying fun activities. The Kids Times paid a visit to the school on July 23 to take a peep into their special camp! The camp was held to help the students improve their English skills through a variety of indoor and outdoor activities. It was also a great chance to experience foreign cultures without having to visit English-speaking countries. Over 120 students took part in the fun camp. “It is very important for children to learn English in order to become global leaders in the global era. I hope this camp will be a wonderful chance for my students to polish their English,” said Principal Cho Sang-ryul. The camp was made up of many exciting programs where the children could learn English from foreign teachers. The highlight of the camp was the ‘Special Experience Day.’ The theme was ‘water’ and the children participated in fun outdoor activities such as ‘Water Gun Battle,’ ‘Water Soccer,’ and ‘Making Red-bean Sherbet.’ All of the programs were conducted in English. While playing fun games and making delicious red-bean sherbet, the students learned many useful words from their teachers. They even had a chance to learn Taekwondo in English! It was a very special camp for the children at Haengdang Elementary School. They are already waiting for the next year’s summer English camp! Let’s hope the school keeps providing the students with many fun English programs!     출처: 어린이 영자신문 키즈타임즈 (www.kidstimes.net)
