Copenhagen International School Summer School 2014

We have been busy with summer school from 23 June - 4 July 2014 to get him exposed to an English environment. We were afraid that he might be reserved and shy, being with other children whose English is their first language or mother tongue, but he was very brave and coped very well. He told us that he had a lot of fun with the activities there, and loving it even better than his own kindergarten.

Since this week, J has been speaking more English to me voluntarily. He is more inspired to speak English. Since most of the kids there don't speak Danish, he is also forced to communicate with them in English.

I gave J his camera so that he could take some pictures, while I am away. Here are some glimpse to the activities and the program, some pictures taken by me and some by J:
