St Giles Nottingham Junior Summer Camp – Feedback from Week One

Wednesday, July 6th, 2011

The international students studying at our St Giles Nottingham Summer Camp had a fantastic first week. Young learners aged between 10 and 17 from all over the world have enjoyed a combination of English lessons and exciting activities and excursions.

The theme of the first week at St Giles Nottingham was ‘Robin Hood’. The students visited Sherwood Forest on Tuesday afternoon, and they also spent time in their English lessons learning about the Robin Hood story. Each class then had a scene from a play called ‘Robin Hood and his Merry Men’ to learn and perform in the last lesson of the week on Saturday. The students and the teachers thoroughly enjoyed making props, rehearsing for the play and acting out the scenes. Next week the theme is Shakespeare and we can’t wait to see what the students come up with for that project!

Students have also enjoyed some excellent activities and excursions, including a trip to the picturesque York Minster, the ever popular game of capture the flag and on Saturday night it was time for the all singing, all dancing, spectacular St Giles Talent Show Bonanza!

On Sunday, current students headed to Manchester to visit the world famous home of Manchester United, Old Trafford and the captivating MOSI museum. Meanwhile, another 70 students arrived to study English with us in Nottingham for our second week – choosing a great day to join us with the sun shining on our beautiful campus.

Here is some feedback from the students after their first week:

Feedback from the first week at our St Giles Oxford Junior Summer Camp

Wednesday, July 6th, 2011

Our Junior Summer Camp in Oxford has now been running for nearly two weeks. The camp is for international students aged between 14 and 18 and combines English classes with an exciting and varied activity programme. The activity programme allows young learners to make friends and practise their English in a fun and relaxed environment after their English lessons in the mornings.

Already our young learners have enjoyed many fun activities and excursions outside of the English classes, including exploring the beautiful city of Oxford, a drumming workshop, ice skating, an excursion to Windsor (including a visit to the shortest street in Britain and Eton College) and a visit to the Roman Baths.

Some students from one of the English classes sent us this feedback from their first week staying at St Giles Oxford:

After our first week in Oxford we have met a lot of friendly people, from all over the world, so we’ll be in touch with them for all our life! A perfect way to get to know new people was doing activities; there are diverse activities like funny games and interesting trips! The favourites were ice-skating and colour wars. The breakfast is also good – it’s a pleasure to wake up in the morning!

 It’s wonderful that we have a lot of leisure time to go to Oxford or to spend this time in residence. We watch a lot of interesting films, which give us a lot of information and grammar is the best and very fun and interesting. We love grammar and Josh helps us to understand many sophisticated things.  From Josh’s Class,  Sat 2nd July
