We&#8217;ll say it again. Never underestimate teenagers and never underestimate what they can do with their English. In this next video B2 teacher Ian explains how his class are learning about Crisis Mapping. To be more specific, your teenagers are learning how they can use their English in the real world to map and manage crises:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Crisis Mapping\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/350565790?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A fun way to work on personal skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our students love spending time outdoors. Especially when they can have a lot of fun doing so &#8211; for example by playing paintball or climbing up high ropes.<br><br>The jungle adventure is a perfect example of something that is a constant in summer school experience: students going out of their comfort zone. Students trying something they never imagined themselves doing. Students embracing new challenges. <br><br>Paintball isn&#8217;t just mindless fun &#8211; it helps students learn how to\u00a0master teamwork. If they didn&#8217;t work together, their chances of winning a match would be slim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Paintball and high ropes 2019\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/350711542?h=596e616f08&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>The jungle adventure <em>(Music: bensound.com)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A nice recharge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Running around, jumping, tactical thinking&#8230; All the jungle adventures made students very tired. Seeing the delicious food waiting for them made them quite cheerful! Tonight they had a rare, but tasty snack: pizza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8230;And as every one of our students are individuals (there are no groups at More Than English) &#8211; our team of chefs made an individual pizza for every student too. Quite a feat, you&#8217;ll agree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/affectionate-pasteur.212-227-183-170.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190728_180752-600.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/affectionate-pasteur.212-227-183-170.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190728_180752-600.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"5444\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.morethanenglish.co.uk\/?attachment_id=5444\" class=\"wp-image-5444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/affectionate-pasteur.212-227-183-170.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190728_180752-600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/affectionate-pasteur.212-227-183-170.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190728_180752-600-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/affectionate-pasteur.212-227-183-170.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190728_180812-600.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/affectionate-pasteur.212-227-183-170.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190728_180812-600.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"5445\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.morethanenglish.co.uk\/?attachment_id=5445\" class=\"wp-image-5445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/affectionate-pasteur.212-227-183-170.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190728_180812-600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/affectionate-pasteur.212-227-183-170.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190728_180812-600-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/affectionate-pasteur.212-227-183-170.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190728_182827-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Pizza\" class=\"wp-image-5437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/affectionate-pasteur.212-227-183-170.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190728_182827-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/affectionate-pasteur.212-227-183-170.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190728_182827-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/affectionate-pasteur.212-227-183-170.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190728_182827-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/affectionate-pasteur.212-227-183-170.plesk.page\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_20190728_182827.jpg 1123w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Yes, it&#8217;s pizza!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More outside time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After dinner, literally just across the road from the campus, students entered the magical world of Mortimer Forest. They strode uphill surrounded by trees that were hundreds of years old. Makes you think&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not too far from the summit of Climbing Jack, we asked students if they would like to stop and return back or push on to the summit. We were so impressed when the vast majority elected to go for the top. We were also impressed by how far the less experienced walkers had reached. <em>Well done everyone! <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We finished of the day with a nice gathering around the campfire with hot chocolate and marshmallows. What a long day it&#8217;s been! What an EPIC day it&#8217;s been.
