COURSE DESCRIPTION

Our Summer Club is an English language immersion course, ideal for kids and teens aged 8-17 who like to be creative, learn new things and, above all, have a great time!

With a wide variety of topics, from history and art to technology, music and sports, combined with dynamic activities and visits around the city of Barcelona, our mission is to make English fun again.

This course runs from 26 June to 28 July at our school in the centre of Barcelona. It offers the possibility of enrolling on a weekly basis for a maximum of five weeks. At the end of the course your children will have new friends, happy memories, a world of knowledge and a new passion for English.

HIGHLIGHTS

WEEKLY THEMES AND TRIPS

Whether your child is sports mad, a film fanatic, loves travel, or wants to be the next Bill Gates – with new themes each week, there’s something for everyone.

Every Wednesday, we’ll go on an exciting excursion and we’ll have special masterclasses to put into practice what we’ve been doing in class.

Each week we will make a presentation video where you will be able to see your children in action and their progress throughout the course.

Week 1: Let the Games Begin

The first of our action-packed weeks is dedicated to sports. With a focus on keeping fit, we’ll learn about some of the weird and wonderful ways we can do this, and get moving with some high-energy games in the garden. We’ll also be lacing up our shoes to play a classic all-American sport, with a fun trip to Bowling Pedralbes!

Week 2: Lights, Camera, Action!

This week is movie week! Whether you want to release your inner director, scriptwriter, costume designer, animator or actor – we’ll learn all about the creative processes that go into making a blockbuster. If you’re a fan of animated movies, you’ll love our trip to Cosmo Caixa for their special Pixar exhibition. And, using all our newfound insight, we’ll collaborate to make movie magic by producing our very own masterpiece.

Week 3: Taking Care of Number One

In this week the main focus is self-care! We’ll find out how to keep our bodies in tip-top shape, as well as the best ways to feel good, inside and out. We’ll also channel our inner Spiderman with an adrenaline-filled morning at Climbat climbing centre.

Week 4: Global Citizens

Whether or not you’re travelling abroad this summer, here at OH we’ll be taking a trip around the world – learning about food, cultures, traditions and arts from all around the globe. We’ll also head to Poble Espanyol to find out more about our own corner of the earth, and take part in a hands-on pottery workshop!

Week 5: Tomorrow’s World

This week, our expert coding teachers will help the kids develop their tech know-how! We’ll explore the virtual world, take part in a mystery tech masterclass, and come up with some brilliant ideas to shape our future. We also fully expect to blow our minds with a VIP tour of the Supercomputador – the most powerful computer in Spain.

METHODOLOGY

All of our young learner teachers are trained in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL).

This is when different subjects, such as science or history, are taught in a second language. It allows your children to learn interesting things while practising English at the same time.

The approach helps prepare young learners for today’s digital and globalised world, where English is commonly used as the medium of communication when travelling, studying, working or browsing the internet.

By focusing on topics which are both fun and engaging, your kids will enjoy a meaningful learning experience and will be more motivated to learn.

CLIL also helps kids learn English in a natural and relaxed environment, taking the focus off grammar and putting it on communication and understanding.

21st CENTURY SKILLS

Not only will your children discover fascinating things about the world around them and practise different skills (oral and written) in a dynamic way, but they will also learn essential skills and competences for life in the 21st century, such as robotics, coding, science (STEM), collaboration and critical thinking.

With a strong focus on communication, students will work together to complete tasks, while also exploring their creativity, posing questions and problems for which they will devise their own solutions, all while using English as a vehicular language.

What’s more, with computers, projectors and TVs in each room, teachers will incorporate authentic videos and other interactive media into classes, helping motivate and engage the kids.

They will also be exposed to other cultures with teachers and students coming from a variety of countries including UK, USA, Italy, Russia and China, which further encourages English to be used at all times.

TIMETABLE

Classes start at 09.00 am and finish at 13.00pm. We offer a flexible registration to suit all needs, being able to sign up to one or multiple weeks. Students can be dropped off from 08.30am for no extra charge.

The programme also includes a healthy breakfast in our lovely garden.
