Ouch, my brain - Blogabond

My first full day of 'working' for over a month and I'm knackered even if I didn't teach.

We spent the morning going over lesson plans, games, activities and discipline (anxious nibble of finger nails!).

In the morning the children do their exercise out in front of the school. Photo left (taken by Olivia).

In the afternoon Tamzin & Geno (2 teachers from last year) demonstrated lessons for Grade 4 and Grade 1 students. It was great to watch and I tried to take in as much as possible but it was hard because either I was laughing or trying not to melt in the heat.

Tomorrow we will sit in a demonstration class for Grade 6 students (phew) which I will be taking notes in as I'm teaching Grades 5 & 6.

The new teachers are really excited and very nervous at the same time, so I'm not alone in how I feel.

Bring it on......gently :)

Hey Sparks,

Sounds like you are having a blast - that pineapple beer looks bloody interesting and a little bit dangerous at the same time - ah well, while in China do as they do and all that.

Sounds like you are making some great mates with the other teaches, I am sure that it will be a bond that you will have forever as you share the highs and lows of your adventure!

Take care, and look forward to more updates. I would love to read the poem - the comment about deportation has got me intrigued! Email is bradshel at bigpond dot com.
