Summer Camp 3 July (Day 10)

Summer Camp 2020

Day 10

This week the Early Years students will also get an opportunity to have Sports activities as part of our DSKI Summer Camp Program. The other 4 classes in PYP were divided between Mad Scientists and Digital Masterpieces. 

Sports (Early Years)

Today students developed their proprioception, their awareness of their body, and their position in space.

We did this by carrying a ball while completing a basic stepping circuit. We made it more difficult by using scoop and balls or ice cream and ice cream cones. Students had to balance their ball of ice cream on their cones while completing the circuit. 

At the end of the lesson, we had fun moving in various ways on the scooter boards.

Mad Scientists

The Mad Scientists had a Nature Walk and with their collected leaf samples. Then, they made an artwork that showed views of nature. In the experiment, Pencils through a Plastic bag, the students observed the special elastic properties of polymer plastics. 

A bag filled with water and poked with pencils did not leak!

Group C2

 

 

 

Group B2

The Mad Scientists made beautiful artworks that  showed  off their artistic talents. They made an artwork showing Chemical Change in leaves. 

They also made an Abstract artwork inspired by a psychedelic color experiment called Magic Milk.

 

Lastly, they did the experiment 'Pencils through a Plastic Bag'. They observed the elastic property of the plastic. A bag filled with water and poked with pencils did not leak!

 

Digital Masterpieces 

Today in Digital Masterpieces we had two activities on the go! (Thanks to our wonderful Summer Camp teachers for their support in facilitating this)

Group A2 used wax paper to create their own creatures. Then they decorated and colored them and brought them INSIDE a photograph of the DSKI school.

Group D2 worked to create Stop Motion videos of clay creatures.

Now that they have CloudStopMotion accounts, they can continue creating videos whenever they wish - try using lego or action figures at home.

Pre Kindergarten

We played various instruments this morning!

We did an "ice and rice experiment" too. They touched colorful ice cubes and observed how rice changed colors. Everyone wanted to eat the rice, but unfortunately it was not for eating! :)

After running around at PE lessons, Ms. Elena read a book "Mouse Mess" and they enjoyed making their own mouse mess on the plate!

 
 

Kindergarten

Kindergarten had some Alien jelly in class to play with and see - what did it feel like? What could you do with it? Was it slimey-yes!

 

 

Today children made together a musical instrument with different materials. Lots of good ideas and nice sounds came out at the end.
