The first week of winter camp is already over. As we know, after Christmas holidays, it’s hard to get back to everyday classes. But our school has found a way. In January we have a camp, and during those three weeks we spend a great time by doing projects, group activities, having meetings, discussions and trips as well. Also during the camp, we not only make new friends, but also get closer to the people we already know.
This year I’m in Irina Apoyan’s group, and I’m so happy for that, because both the teacher and the children provide a happy, interesting, educational atmosphere.
The first week was so exciting and full. We did many activities and one of my favorites was the “Unsolved case”, which was a murder case and we had to solve it and find the killer. It was so much fun!
I can’t imagine our camp without meetings and discussions. We had meetings with three teachers. The first one was with Nune Movsisyan. We talked about epic poems, which was so interesting. Also we got to know that our Armenian epic “Sasuntsi David” is one the best in the world. And we learned about other countries’ epics. For example I did a research and wrote about a Spanish epic called “Song of my Cid“.
The next day we had a meeting with Elena Sargsyan. We read “Antaramner” by Narine Abgaryan and had a discussion about it. You can read my thoughts about the story here.
And the last meeting was with Hasmik Ghazaryan. We watched a movie called “Crush” and discussed the details during the meeting. Here is my thoughts about the movie.
During the week we visited the art school as well and studied pottery.
I would like to highlight that we also had a PE class, which was so fun. At first we did stretching then other activities. In the end of the class we played a game.
Can’t forget to mention about the board games we played and translations we did (here is mine). Also the dance class.
So, after this exciting week I can’t wait for the upcoming weeks.
