It was so exciting to wake up today and head off to camp. After loading the car up, and turning around to forget some forgotten items, we were off! When we arrived we immediately started ‘setting up’. No sooner had we began than one eager camper was knocking on our door! It was 7:50am and he just couldn’t wait to get started. | |
As the rest of the campers were arriving we engaged them in an art activity where they ‘animated their name’ We had some fun discussing why they decorated their name in the manner they did and it was a great activity to start to get to know each other.
After that we went on the PASTA CREATIONS! Each child got a ziploc bag filled with pasta and were asked to come up with a creation. We had a Hot Rod; a car/airplane; a lazy river with water chute and a bowling alley! The children had fun sharing their creations and explaining what they were. During snack one child taught us how to build a paper swan.
Next on to some programming with Tynker.com and some iPad apps; Cargobot, Hopscotch and Daisy the Dinosaur. We ended with a Mystery Engineering bag and made varying types of Pom Pom launchers! A great time was had by all… but where was the lego????
