DAY EIGHT

We had quite the running start today as we were on a tight schedule, which meant that we did not have time for a "warming up" game. Instead, our visitor Ville, taught us a thing or two about volleyball. We learned some useful volleyball skills today, such as a few different ways of passing and getting the ball. YAY!


After we had acquired the skills to play, we ended our volleyball session with a match against Ville.

After volleyball, our merry band of SAS students, assistants and staff split into three groups, each with an activity of their own.


The first group walked to Tietomaa, to watch a 3D movie: Flight of the Butterflies. We enjoyed the movie and were amazed by the visual beauty of it and the butterflies. It even made some of us want to visit these butterfly "sanctuaries".



Ready for the movie




Another group went to the library. There they were able to return old books, get new ones and enjoy some light reading. 



Books were found and Mr. Broccoli is enjoying the library visit too :)


Some fun reading



The third group went to the Art Museum and immersed themselves into the culture of art. There were a few different art exhibitions at the museum today, which we found interesting to look at. 


After lunch we started planning tomorrow's Parents' Evening activities and performances.


What could they be planning? Hmmmm...


At the end of the day we were all tired and some assistants chose to take a nap after the kids had gone home.

DAY TEN

Kuva
Our last day of SAS started off with a few games and workshops run by the teachers, assistants and our wonderful guest Akane, who very helpfully has been a member of our staff since day two. Akane also taught us a few interesting things about Japan. After the workshops we sat down for the last lunch break, we talked about everyone's plans for the rest of the summer, we revealed our secret friends of the week and headed to the classroom for a surprise. The final activity, the surprise everyone had been waiting for was a disco! James who earlier in the day had a dj workshop played us some music as we danced, played limbo and celebrated all our achievements from the last two weeks. Here's a few things some of the children said about the Summer Activity School this year: "I liked this summer school very much. I got new friends and we had fun together. I had fun and everyone is so happy." - Silja "I liked all of it." - Niklas "
