Today we started with a village tour. The tour guide brought us around to see the landscape and the traditional houses. We learned a lot about how they have to keep the houses similar, to respect the traditional culture. There was even a prison in the town! And interesting was how they even built the three floors of the tower. You could see that the wall on the second floor was completely different than the third floor which was made out of smaller stones. Another interesting thing what that the fountains in the village have a ledge for the goats and the sheep to step up on when they get some water!
Today we also did different art tasks!
First we tried to use different perspectives to look at a picture. We took a small Winnie the Pooh toy and we turned it into the main character of our picture. You can see in our pictures!
Then we worked with the charcoal where we had to draw the shadow of a transparent glass - we didn't have to draw the whole glass but just a part of it.
In the afternoon, we had four stations to go around. We wrote a postcard and had to draw the picture on the front side which was fun because normally you don't do that. Then we painted a stone - a souvenir stone from this place that we had to create. The next task was to whittle a dwarf from a stick. This was Cheng's first time using a Swiss army knife to do this!! She even got her knife stuck in the stick!!! The last task was just to listen to a story about another camp. It was interesting to know that Swiss kids can hike four to five hours!! It was also interesting to learn about different activities that can be done during hikes.
