Primary Department ran the “Let's do it!” Kid's Camp 2015 for Yr.1-Yr.3 students from 5th -9th October 2015. Teachers organised students into eight groups and the activities into eight bases. Students took turn at each base until they’d visited everyone.
- Blast off base:
This base gave students knowledge of wind power. Students folded a paper and drew a rocket. After that they did an experiment on wind power by attaching a balloon to the top of the rocket and a straw to the balloon. Tying a rope into the straw and tighten it on the walls of both sides, the students blew their rockets to see which one went farthest.

- Adventure base:
Students practiced memorizing through playing a game. The teacher asked students from each group to choose a label from 1-10. Then the teacher asked students to walk on the label until they walked to the finish line. Students could not walk on the label that had a bomb. If a student walked on a bomb label, student had to go back to the starting line and another friend began to play. They had to remember where the bombs were and avoid them unless they wanted to go back to the start!
