Over four days, ISZN welcomed students from Pre-K to Grade 2 to its Spring Holiday Camp, where children took part in a creative, hands-on project centered around building their own miniature world: the “City of Ibex.”

Building the City of Ibex

Throughout the camp, children became city planners, architects, engineers, and designers as they worked together to imagine, design, and construct a bustling miniature city. They created roads, buildings, parks, and transport elements such as cars and trains, bringing their ideas to life through a shared project.

From mapping streets and designing layouts to building unique structures and landmarks, each child played an important role in shaping the “City of Ibex”. Students worked independently, in pairs, and in small groups, contributing to different parts of the city and combining their ideas to create a shared space.

Students were also invited to bring in small toys such as cars, trains, and figures to add movement and life to the “City”.

By the end of the camp, a classroom was transformed into a vibrant city built entirely through the imagination and collaboration of the students.

Learning Through Creativity and Collaboration

The project encouraged children to plan, create, and collaborate. Through small-group teamwork, partner activities, and individual contributions, students developed problem-solving, planning, creativity, teamwork, and communication skills.

The variety of activities gave children different ways to engage, contribute ideas, and take part in a shared outcome.

A Seasonal Touch

As the camp took place in the lead-up to Easter, children also took part in baking activities to celebrate the season. Even before the camp began, students were already sharing ideas about what they wanted to bake, with many suggestions discussed and explored together.

A Structured and Supportive Environment

The Spring Holiday Camp took place on the ISZN campus during regular school hours, with breakfast, lunch, and snacks provided throughout the day. The programme offered a structured, engaging, and supportive environment where children could explore, create, and connect during the school holidays.
