English camp 2015

Hi there! We are back from our English camp at Moragete. The camp was great. There were lots of fantastic activities to do. We were very busy every day. The best thing was the terror night. We laughed and ran a lot. Our instructors were very nice.There were some really nice kids there too. We made new friends. They were really kind. Our best friend at the camp was Morgan. We were in the same team. He was quite loopy at first, but he was really popular by the end. We've got some brilliant photos to show you!
