Throughout the year, each of the volunteers have to do some form of English camp for a day. Both myself and Clem went with P-Boom, Yok Soyai, Fah Sai, Jing, Nampang, the Chinese speech student and one of their friends. We all travelled in one of the schools vans for about one hour till we got there. Once there, there were about 40 kids sitting on the floor waiting for us.
It started off us us introducing ourselves in Thai which I was not prepared for so I mucked mine up a bit. Afterwards we sang some songs with them. After that, myself and Clem played some games with them which they loved. Afterwards, we wanted a break to sort out what we were doing next so we asked Yok Soyai what she was going to teach today but she said that she wasn't and hadn't planned anything and that it was all down to Clem and myself to fill up the whole day even though we were the least experienced teachers. We had to wonder why she came if she was only going to sit there and watch. Eventually, she decided to do something and Clem and myself had a bit of a rest before lunch as the other people scrambled to think of things to do as they hadn't planned anything.
For lunch, the school had created a feast for us which included sticky rice, som tam and fish followed by a mass of fruits.
After lunch Clem and myself had to take charge again after lunch so we described Christmas and New Year in England and then we got all the kids to make Christmas cards and they were actually really good for children who were around 10.
We finished off the day by going back and due to the fact that we all had Christmas hats for the day, Clem and I decided to listen to Christmas music to get us into the spirit. Even though we had to have planned everything, it was a fun day.
