PIT review

"My Trip to PIT.- By Kushi J Bhatia. Age 9

On Wednesday 2nd of January 08, the ICC Kids Camp arranged for a bus to go to PIT (Parque Infantil Tenerife), held in Santacruz. All those who were going on this trip were supposed to meet outside ICC. My brother and I, along with all our friends gathered there ,very excited... waiting for 15 minutes before the bus and people came. Before boarding the bus, each person had to tell the organizer Aunty what menu they wanted from Mc Donald's for the evening snack. We then entered the bus. It took an hour to reach Santa Cruz.

We were so thrilled to enter the PIT. There were all kinds of rides: faster rides,slow rides,rides for all ages, many for younger children but I noticed that the quantity of rides had become lesser from the previous years. I still had lots of fun. The ride I liked the most was called "Master", it would go round and round and up and down,and it was fast. There was a puppet theater show which I walked out from , in 10 minutes because it was a bit boring.

Finally,everyone had to gather at the entrance to leave the PIT feeling sad that the day had come to an end... but happy that we had so much fun. We boarded the bus that took us to McDonalds which was in front of PIT. After finishing our snack we boarded the bus again and were dropped to Pineda.

I loved it! I always wish PIT is open for the entire year but its only open during the Xmas holidays.

I would like to thank the ICC Kids Camp group for organizing this wonderful trip to PIT.

Taare Zameen par

Woh what a evening! Great movie with chips, chocolate and juices!

Even after such a short notice to all of our friends, we had a super response from you all. We were more than 50 of us watching this super duper movie: Taare Zameen Par, a film by Aamir Khan.

The movie revolves around Ishaan...
Ishaan Awasthi is an eight-year-old whose world is filled with wonders that no one else seems to appreciate; colours, fish, dogs and kites are just not important in the world of adults, who are much more interested in things like homework, marks and neatness. And Ishaan just cannot seem to get anything right in class. When he gets into far more trouble than his parents can handle, he is packed off to a boarding school to 'be disciplined'. Things are no different at his new school, and Ishaan has to contend with the added trauma of separation from his family. One day a new art teacher bursts onto the scene, Ram Shankar Nikumbh, who infects the students with joy and optimism. He breaks all the rules of 'how things are done' by asking them to think, dream and imagine, and all the children respond with enthusiasm, all except Ishaan. Nikumbh soon realizes that Ishaan is very unhappy, and he sets out to discover why. With time, patience and care, he ultimately helps Ishaan find himself

Thanks to all of you! See you all in our next event, till then, take care, namaste, ciao!!!

X´mas handicrafts 2007

Hi Dear Readers... Woulds like to hear what our kids did this X´mas in our handicraft classes?

Well then, this year we got them making movable Santa´s, taught them to pack presents and even make their own x´mas box, glittering and dangling bells, and off course their own personalized greeting cards for the season. We Even got them to help us put up a Huge 4m Christmas Tree, and huge Belen.

Our visit to the Old Age Home

On the 24th December at 11´30 we were a group of 12 of us to visit the Old Age home, Residencia y Centro de día "Jose almeida Gonzalez", in Adeje.



Kids were a bit nervous as to what they had to actually do, and we were a bit nervous as to how the kids would react on their first visit, but off course, the elders welcomed us all so warmly that we all instantly forgot our nervousness, and soon got into the mood.

We all started singing and dancing with all of the elders with the help of the nurses and the director of the centre who even played the guitar for our carols.


We then gave all the elders a gift donated by an anonymous person, and wished them all individually a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

It was an hour of great fun and a new experience for all. They even invited us all for some refreshments and snacks.

It was a super experience, specially to bring a smile on their faces on such a special day for all.!


On behalf of ICC Kids Camp we would like to sincerely thanks Mr. Kan Mirpuri for this lovely event idea and organization. We will always be with you. Thanks!

Do come and join us to bringing a huge smile on our elders face.

The ICC Kids Camp Xmas Party

The 3 Kings, Melchor,Gaspar, Baltasar and Santa, visited the ICC in Pineda... Not just the kids, even their parents had great fun and were queuing up to take snaps with the Kings.


Who doesn't want to be a kid again? It's so much fun, so much of joy, so much of freedom...

ICC Kids Camp celebrated, one of the celebration day in Spain and the children got to see and take snaps with their gift bringers: Los Reyes Magos!!!

Today the 6th Jan, when the whole of Spain is running around like mad to exchange gifts between themselves... Don't you feel one of them? Isn't it a beautiful tradition that gifts are exchanged, not only between the kids but also between the elders?


Maybe for some its just a day of Reyes, maybe for some its just a day of tradition, maybe for some its just a day of expenditure... but see the brighter side of it: it gets you closer to people, it gets you closer to your friends, your family, your near ones....

On behalf of the Kids & Mothers of the ICC Kids Camp...

¡¡¡FELICES REYES!!!

We sincerely hope that the Kings do bring you lots and lots of gifts from ur family and friends...
