Myrsini’s Summer Edutainment
Myrsini’s Summer Edutainment is a unique award winning educational programme aimed at teaching children aged 3-12, life skills in a fun and creative English environment. Children participate in experiential and stimulating learning activities while participating in a variety of over 27 activities each week with plenty of interesting things to discover each week’s different theme. Children are exposed to the English language through play by involving them in fun and creative hands-on activities. The games and activities provide children with the opportunity to be taught in an informal and enjoyable way. In other words, they will actually be learning without realizing it!
Myrsini’s Summer Edutainment does not only focus on teaching English, but also aims to teach and equip children with important life skills. The activities have been specifically designed to focus on developing pupils socially, physically, intellectually, creatively and emotionally.
Myrsini’s Summer Edutainment is based on the philosophy that:
- Children are equipped with an innate ability to learn languages naturally and subconsciously.
- Children learn better through play-based hands-on-experiences because they can make sense of ideas from real-life experience.
- Children develop greater fluency in a language when they are naturally exposed to the language they are learning.
- Myrsini’s Summer Edutainment focuses on language acquisition rather than language learning.
