Half Time Entertainers - What We Actually Did

 Our half time entertainment went down well, and we thought you'd might like to see what we did! Here are a few snap shots of us all out on the field, and below are three video clips from the show. Check out our dance moves!

Open Day Performances #4 - Jordan, Mexico and Norway

Here are a few more clips from Open Day! It takes a while for us to upload everything, but we promise that all the performances by the delegations including the JCs will be uploaded to the blog in due time. Today we have Jordan, Mexico and Norway!

The Jordanians performed a beautiful dance, we really loved it!

The Mexicans also performed a wonderful dance, but they wanted their costumes to be a surprise for their national night, so they didn't wear them on stage. We can't wait to see them!

Norway performed a play, The Three Billy Goat Gruff, which they also performed on their national night. We were really impressed with their efforts, way to go, Norway!

Becoming Famous at Sunny Hill #3

Once again our camp has made it to the news of one of the local news papers, Odalsnytt! The journalist got some of our names wrong, but we don't mind as long as we get publicity! We want to become famous! :) You can read the article here, it's in Norwegian but we are sure Google will help you.

Rooting for KIL Football Team

Here's another snap shot from Sunday's football match!

Open Day Performances #3 - Italy

The Italian delegation performed their national anthem on stage on Open Day:

And they had also rehearsed a dance, and encouraged everyone to join in! It was great fun!

Open Day Performances #2 - Denmark, France and Germany

Here's Denmark teaching us and the audience the Danish energizer "En Lille And"!

And here's France dancing their super hero dance!

The German delegation performed a repeat-after-me-song in German! (We think it was about sharks!)

What we did on July 13th

Open Day Performances #1 - Canada

All the Open Day performances have been captured on video, and we will upload them onto the blog as soon as we can! 

Here is the Canadian delegation, singing Canada's Really Big (see below for the lyrics):

When I look around me, 
I can't believe what I see 
It seems as if this country 
Has lost it's will to live 
The economy is lousy, 
We barely have an army 
But we can still stand proudly 
'Cause Canada's really big 

We're the second largest country 
On this planet Earth 
And if Russia 
Keeps on shrinking 
Then soon we'll be first 
(as long as we keep Quebec) 

The USA has tanks 
And Switzerland has banks 
They can keep them, thanks 
They just don't amount 
'Cause when you get down to it 
You find out what the truth is 
It isn't what you do with it 
It's the size that counts! 

Most people 
Will tell you 
That France is pretty large 
But you can put 
Fourteen Frances 
Into this land of ours 
(it'd take a lotta work, it's take a whole lotta work) 

We're larger than Malaysia 
Almost as big as Asia 
We're bigger than Australia 
And it's a continent 
So big we seldom bother 
To go see one another 
But we often go to other 
Countries for vacation 

Our mountains 
Are very pointy 
Our prairies are not 
The rest is 
Kinda bumpy 
But, man, do we have a lot 
(we gotta lot of land, we gotta whole lot of land) 

So stand up and be proud 
And sing out very loud 
We stand out from the crowd 'cause 
Canada's really big!

Canada's National Night

The Canadian delegation served pancakes for lunch on their National Night, and it was delicious! They had also made a video which they showed in the media room, and they performed a really funny song, Canada's Really Big by the Arrogant Worms. After the performance, there was a quiz where those who had paid attention to the song and the video won prices for each question they managed to answer. The Canadians had "commercial breaks" between the questions, where they showed us some traditional dancing, some hockey playing and some lumbering. They were really generous with their candy, and we had a lot of fun answering all the questions!

Here's a clip from one of the commercial breaks! (The song will be posted later with all the Open Day videos!)

Italy's National Night

The Italians dressed up as CISV-chefs on their National Night, and served delicious bruschetta for lunch! Click on the link of the picture below for a recipe we've found online:

For their National Night show, they sang the Italian National Anthem, and we got to play a really fun game! Enjoy the short clips below!
