What is this camp about?

The English Starter Camp is designed for children from outside our school (or for new students joining our school who need to improve their English) who have little or no English experience and would like to build confidence before entering an English-speaking environment.

This camp follows a balanced structure:
50% English learning and 50% interaction, games, sports, and practical communication.

Children will not only learn English in structured lessons but will actively use it throughout the entire day in real-life situations.

The camp will be open for four age groups:

EY1, EY2, and EY3 (3-5 yr.o.)
Year 1 and Year 2 (6-7 yr.o.)
Year 3, Year 4, and Year 5 (8-9 yr.o.)
Year 6 and Year 7 (10-11 yr.o.)

Children will also have dedicated PE sessions where they can stay active and enjoy sport in a fun and supportive environment.

Multisport Activities include:

Various team sports, agility, and fitness exercises designed to improve children’s physical health
Age-appropriate activities for younger children to develop fundamental movement skills, teamwork, and cooperation
A fun and engaging way to keep children active throughout the week

Sport sessions also provide additional opportunities to practise English through movement and teamwork.

🎉 Special Fridays!

Every Friday, children will enjoy special activities, including:

Team-building games to develop cooperation and problem-solving skills
Quizzes and fun challenges to test their knowledge in an engaging way
Water fight with water guns! 💦

Small pools will be available for children to cool off, and they will have the chance to enjoy an exciting water fight using water guns, making the last day of the week even more fun and refreshing.

In case of bad weather, Water Day will be replaced by a Sports Day, where children will have the opportunity to compete in various sports as well as team-building activities.

Group Adjustments:

If a specific age group does not meet the required number of participants, groups may be combined. In past camps, mixed-age groups have worked well, with activities still tailored to each child’s abilities.

Important Note:

The timing of English lessons will be adjusted flexibly throughout the week. Lessons may also be divided between morning and afternoon sessions to best align with the Classic BISB Summer Camp programme and shared activities.
