One English Day With Us

Hey everyone, now I would like to share about my English camp. Let me tell you briefly about this camp. This camp was organized by my group students which was named as "One English Day With Us" or known as 1 EDU. This camp for conducted for around 100 Year 5 students of SK Jati, Ipoh to enhance their skills in communicating and writing in English. We traveled to the school from our university around 5.00 am and reached SK Jati at 7.20 am.

As soon as we reached, the registration unit prepared the files and button badges that needed to be given to the students. Then, their attendance were took as well. At 8.00 am, ice breaking session were held. The students were arranged randomly in 10 different groups with two facilitators. I was one of the facilitators too. After that, we were required to guide the students, interact with them and create a group cheer. The students were very enthusiastic and energetic to create their group cheer. Around 9.00 am, it was breakfast time before the explorace was held.

The students were acting on the stage

The explorace comprised of  5 stations with different activities such as solving word puzzles, tongue twisters and word search. The group which finished the explorace first will be the winner. I saw the students were very excited and did all the activities with full energy. The explorace finished around 12.00 pm. Then, the facilitators did some aerobics dance so that the students would not feel bored. Lunch and prayer time were given from 1.00 to 2.30 pm. After lunch, the last activity called complete the story was carried out. Each group were shown a video of moral value till a certain time. After watching, the students were required to continue the story with their own imagination and creativity. They need to act out on stage and complete the story. The students really enjoyed and had fun as they need to act.


After the last activity, we had prize-giving ceremony for all the students and closing ceremony as well. The closing ceremony was officiated by the school principal. She congratulated all of us for doing a great job teaching English for the students and also welcomed us to organize more camps like this in future. Around 4.30 pm, the programme was ended with a tea break and all of us went back home.

Even though there were many ups and downs before the camp, we managed to do a great job and gave full cooperation to make the camp successful. I personally enjoyed being one of the facilitators and had fun teaching the school students. Overall, it was great and useful experience for everyone as we learnt ways to conduct a camp and the importance of teamwork to make something successful.

That's all of my camp story. See you in my next post :)
