Day three of camp saw the first opportunity for the campers to act out the morning story after hearing Mrs. Birdsall’s enthusiastic oration of “The Vingananee and the Tree Toad”, an action packed story in which teamwork, friendship, bravery and a little divine intervention win out over the greed and malice of the forest dwelling Vingananee. Glee was evident as campers got to dress up in colored capes to portray various characters and, with the direction of Mrs. Birdsall, narrate and perform the tale.
The campers experienced another first when they got to enjoy the first day of water play; the preferred coolant being the sprinkler. Peals of laughter and giggles filled the playground as campers zealously leapt through the giant water spout.The campers were later greeted with yet another hands-on experience as they began to sew their pencil cases.
The thrill of learning a new skill was accompanied by the garnering of crucial fine motor skills as the children were obligated to employ their dexterity to make intricate stiches in order to create a functional, attractive pencil case.
