Note: If your name is not in any of the groups, that is because you have indicated that you are unable to make it for the camp. If you are not going to camp but your name is still in one of the groups, please text Queenie asap.
The group names are in different languages for the term 'warrior'. As such, the theme for the June camp will be WARRIOR. Also, all our games story line and plot are related to THE AVENGERS. So for you to understand what's going on, you are highly encouraged (not compulsory) to catch the movie MARVEL'S THE AVENGERS.
What is also required of each group is a performance for the camp.
What we want you to do: Work together as a group and come up with something fun.
Details: Each performance is to be 4-6 minutes long. The performance can be anything: singing, dancing, playing the guitar, performing a magic show, a skit etc. Basically its a just like a talent time for you to perform!
Therefore please discuss with your group and make sure that everyone is to be involved and included in this performance.
Each group is also to prepare a group identity in relation to the group name.
4. CAMP DETAILS
Our June Handover camp will be held from 2 June, 1pm to 4 June, 10am.
2 June will be our concert night and therefore we will come at 1pm in the afternoon for our rehearsal.
Our concert is from 7-9pm but it will definitely end later than expected so our camp activities will start from 10.30pm onwards as you will be given time to talk to your friends and take pictures etc.
On 3 June morning, we will be going to Pasir Ris Park so please remember to tell your parents and leave Ms Tang's number (our teacher-in-charge) with them so that at least they will be able to contact Ms Tang if anything happens.
