METO KOLEJI HATAYSummer Camp 2014

Hello, my name is Barry and I taught Summer Camp at Meto Koleji, Hatay, Turkey. Let me tell you about it.

Meto Koleji is in Kirikhan, near Hatay in southern Turkey.

It has a garden, basketball court, and football pitch. It is sunny and the air is fresh.

Here are my co-teachers, Ramazan and Veli.

Here I am with some of the staff.

In the younger class we made pirate hats…

…and a Hello Kitty hat…

Pirates eat ice-cream too!!!

In the older class we had to put the body labels on “the body”

We made a skeleton collage.

Draw bones, cut out bones, stick bones…

…make sure the bones fit well onto the paper…

The boys stick their bones onto the paper.

Game over!!!

Game over!!!

Who made the better picture, the boys or the girls?

Next we had an Egyptian Mummy Competition.

The girls made a good mummy…

…and so did the boys.

The girls finished first and made a spooky mummy.

The boys’ mummy was very interesting!

We love food! Especially the barbecue. Here is the Vice Principal enjoying a kebeb sandwich!

Enjoy your lunch!

Don’t forget to try some cake…

Hey, don’t eat all the cake!!!

Yummy Yummy

…and try some Turkish kunefe (pudding) or a chicken saute with vegetables and bread.

A tasty Turkish breakfast is waiting!

Here is one of our wall displays:

Batman and Spiderman:

We wrote comic strips, too.

One afternoon we went shopping and bowling in Prime Mall, Hatay.

On the bus…

Happy days in the sun!

We make a good team!

Here is our town, Kirikhan. It is about 30km from Hatay.

Here is Hatay!

The Archeaological Museum in Hatay.

Hatay has many old, historic buildings.

It’s the turn of the younger class to label the parts of the body!

Did we label the “body” correctly?

Hey! Do you like our skeleton? What do you say?

And the younger class made a nice mummy!

What do you think?

AND we all got our CERTIFICATES! You’re number one! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
