G4 Overnight Camp

What an amazing experience the class had on our overnight camp. A huge thank you to Ms Liz and Mr Ben for getting permission for the G4 to have an overnight experience and to Mr Ben for all his organising.


What a great adventure we had.


From trying to catch frogs out in the rice fields - one frog caught in bedroom. Trying to catch fish in the pond - nil.


Spot light game, night time ropes course and fun team building challenges.



Trying to get Barbie across the pond without getting wet - 2 teams successful. Orienteering around the rice paddies and completing activities at each station.


The food was amazing.


Not sure who was the first to wake up at 4.30am but I am sure you will sleep well tonight. The bus trip back to Phnom Penh was much more quieter than on the way to camp.

Language games

For an activity on our overnight camp we had to design a language game that we could teach some children at the school attached to our homestay.


The class was put into groups of 3 or 4 and had to create a language game. They made games like snap, go fish, memory and bingo.
We then shared our games with our buddy class afterwards. They enjoyed playing the games.
