Ark Elvin Summer Camp 2021

From 16^th August for two weeks we hosted between 80 and 100 Year 7 – Year 10  pupils a day at our first ever Summer Camp.

Our activities: 

• Every day pupils read together form the brilliant collection ‘The Book of Hopes.’ 
• Pupils spent every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday taking part in activities in school, ranging from boxing to creative writing, cooking and mural painting. 
• On Wednesday 18^th August we too 100 pupils to London Zoo where we had a great day spotting all sorts of amazing animals. 
• On Wednesday 25^th August we went swimming at the Olympic Pool – our pupils braved the ‘Aqua Splash’ assault course, and some took to the canal in the swan pedal boats. 
• 
  

  
  On Friday 20^th August we had fun learning to write songs with the Ark Music team and on Friday 27^th August we had a very special day with the Literacy Trust – pupils learned how to craft stories, make comics, write jokes and poems and be creative with language and welcomed a range of special guests. 

   

We had a great two weeks! The summer camp formed part of the national Covid-19 recovery scheme and was funded by the Department for Education.
