3-Day Chinese Camp

Pb didn't do very well for her Chinese in SA1. I was hoping that she'll be able to take part in some fun and stimulating Chinese immersing activities, to learn Chinese in a causal and enjoyable setting. Hence I signed her up for a 3-Day Chinese Camp during the June holidays. Initially I felt that the cost was a little too expensive ($270) but the programme included daily excursion to Hort Park, Infor Comm Centre and Science Centre, the entrance fee, coach fare and insurance. They also provided quite substantial lunch from places such as Mad Jacks, KFC and Yashinoya, though for Pb, she would have appreciated simple chicken rice or fish ball noodle soup! Haha.

The thematic hands on activities were interesting and related to their excursion. The terrarium which Pb had made and the Chinese calligraphy and drawing were part of the highlights. On the last day, the children were taught how to go about presenting a simple skit. I thought the performance was commendable as they had very little time to prepare. 

I happened to mention about the camp to 2 of Pb's classmates' mothers and they were excited about it. They too, signed their daughters up for the camp. 

Overall, the camp was good and Pb enjoyed herself well though she was recovering from her fever and sore throat. It was not as daunting as she has expected and was glad to be able to join the camp with her friends :)
