Day Five

July 18th, 2003

 

One of this morning's activities was Clay Bead Making.  Using modeling clay, Jessica, Hailey, Rachel, Jasmine, Will, and Max prepare their creations for the oven.

The weather was perfect this morning for a Volleyball activity!

Liv and Heather taught the villagers English while setting and spiking.

Mary reads a letter.  Every day at lunch, ELV mail is delivered by "Matt the Mailman."  There was plenty of mail today from villagers and staff.

In preparation for an upcoming Evening Program, Kate shares the book "Peter Pan" with her Neighborhood.

The kids are very excited to see Peter Pan performed by the Gooseberry Park Players tomorrow night!

Some villagers work quietly in the library on a Neighborhood video project.  Each villager was assigned part of a newscast.  They must brainstorm ideas, write their scripts, then film their segments.

Stella is hard at work in Heather's afternoon Sock Puppet making activity.  This activity was very popular and turned out some beautiful results.

Villagers make sock puppets with Heather.  Alicia looks stylish in a sombrero.

In Molly's afternoon football activity, the kids get a taste of a true American pastime.

Before going swimming as our evening program, we had a water balloon toss.

The villagers had a great time catching the balloons, especially when they burst!  Here, Jessica and Emma do their best to catch balloons, while Lily ducks.

Everyone enjoyed the activity, and afterwards, we got to go swimming!
