This past week I had camp in a little town called Maleo, in the region Lombardia. 90kids with 9tutors in 5 classrooms, in a super old building with an epic garden - was a pretty awesome camp. Director and assistants spoke very good english and organised everything so well. I stayed with a host family around the corner from the school, so we cycled and walked most of the time. I had red book, which means I had a class of 11yr olds and we did a whole bunch of games to do with basics like introductions, opposites, body parts and likes. On the first day I lost my voice though, and took the rest of the week to recover. Our final show for the parents on Friday landed up being Scooby Doo since the kids watch the cartoon here on tv too and learnt the song pretty easily. Our lovely assistants made us a farewell and thank you video, which I've uploaded onto youtube and you can view it here if you like. It's just a 5min clip of some of the kids playing and activities we do.
We had a tutor dinner at this amazing restaurant with all the host families on Thursday and on Friday we celebrated a tutor's 21st at a funfair in Cremona and went out to a sort of club afterwards, with a lot of spanish dancing...haha.
Saturday we had a tutor lunch at the directors house to say bye to everyone before we all separated and then my host family took me to Piacenza for a walk. We then went to a rock festival type thing and my family bought me a belly ring :) Sunday we had a baptism ceremony at the church and then lots of eating afterwards to celebrate. I then got on the train back to Treviglio to stay with Toni again. She started to au pair for another family, so I also met a whole new bunch of kids and folks. Since then I've been chilling and catching up with the rest of the world...skyping, photos, blogging.
