The summer camp kicked off with a grand welcome ceremony led by the head of school. The students quickly took their first step toward growth: writing self-introductions and pairing up to recommend each other. In this process, they demonstrated the courage to make new friends, discovered shared interests through sharing, and planted the seeds of cooperation and friendship. 

After a short break, the children headed to the library for a ‘reading and discussion’ session. They read the classic ‘The Cat in the Hat’ together, taking turns to read aloud and engaging in lively discussions about the story. During the subsequent reading time, the children selected books based on their interests, with the diverse range of choices reflecting their strong curiosity and potential for international perspective. 

The afternoon classes were filled with challenges and fun. In art class, the children's doodles gave birth to fun artworks, greatly showcasing their imagination. The subsequent STEM activity became the focus—designing and folding paper rockets! The children exercised their creativity, repeatedly testing the effect of launching with straws. When the rockets soared or spun in the classroom, the scene was filled with cheers and laughter of success, which was precisely the moment of growth through trial, cooperation, and problem-solving! 

After a hearty dinner, the film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone brought relaxation and a touch of magic to an energetic day. Accompanied by the magical world, the children drifted off to sleep with anticipation for the next day's explorations and a longing for British boarding school culture. 

If the first day was about immersing in culture and etiquette, the second day, led by School Mom’ Ms. Wendy, moved the classroom to the forefront of scientific innovation—the Shenzhen Bay Laboratory. 

At the Shenzhen Bay Laboratory, the students got up close to cutting-edge research equipment, listened to the little-known stories of top scientists' struggles, and felt the technological innovation and rigorous, pragmatic scientific atmosphere in the field of life sciences. 

Following this, a fascinating science lecture titled ‘The World of Mosquitoes’ was delivered by Dr. Zhang Heng of Shenzhen Bay Laboratory in a humorous and accessible manner. Questions like ‘Why do only female mosquitoes bite humans?’ and ‘How do mosquitoes grow?’ immediately captured the children's curiosity. When Dr. Zhang revealed the ‘secret weapons’ hidden in a mosquito's mouthparts (a cutting blade, suction tube, anaesthetic, and anticoagulant injection tube), the children erupted in awe! Courage was demonstrated through their willingness to explore the unknown, while cooperation was evident in their focused observation and discussion. 

The highlight was undoubtedly the opportunity to operate a microscope hands-on! From mosquito eggs, larvae, pupae to adult mosquitoes, the children held their breath, witnessing the intricate transformations of life forms. The marvelous sights of the microscopic world unfolded before their eyes, and the joy of focus and discovery was an experience that could not be replicated in the classroom. 

The afternoon exploration journey moved to the Shenzhen Brain Science and Technology Industry Innovation Centre. Here, the profound field of brain science was cleverly transformed into an engaging interactive experience. The ‘brain scale model’ allowed children to intuitively grasp the complexity of this command centre; the ‘cell science education booth’ vividly presented the microscopic neural world. Through carefully designed mind-controlled arm-wrestling and mind-controlled racing games, children immersed themselves in a wonderful journey of exploring the brain. This was not only about acquiring knowledge but also about recognising and stimulating their own potential. 

The final day focused on mental and physical health and showcasing achievements. Morning yoga sessions taught the children to focus on inner balance. Nutrition classes provided in-depth knowledge about healthy eating habits, transforming theoretical knowledge into practical wisdom for daily life.

Afternoon drama classes ignited the children's passion for performance and vitality, while the subsequent 3D art class guided them in creating their own 3D artworks from scratch. At the exciting ‘Achievement Showcase,’ the children confidently presented their learning outcomes to their parents. The parent-child interaction session allowed parents to personally experience the charm of ‘British-style education.’ Finally, at the solemn closing ceremony, the children received certificates of completion (signed by the head of school), marking the end of this challenging and rewarding journey. 

Though the three-day, two-night British summer camp was brief, it was deeply meaningful. From immersing in British culture, exploring the wonders of science, to nurturing both mind and body, the ‘MIS British Academy Experience Camp’ opened the door to British elite education for the children. We are delighted to witness that, immersed in a pure British environment, the children not only enhanced their qualities but also cultivated the courage to explore, deepened their teamwork, and broadened their international perspective. This courage and vision, forged through challenges and collaboration, will undoubtedly accompany them as they embark on a brighter future! 

We look forward to meeting you all again next time!
