I thought at the beginning of this trip that I was only an auntie to my sister's two children, however I now seem to have become an auntie to over 80 children today, as we played games, sang songs, answered questions and drew many pictures. In the sweltering heat from 11.30-12.30 I could feel the energy just drain out of my body as more children wanted me to blow up another balloon and write onto it my name and age! What is the fascination with having to reveal that I am at that tender age far beyond thirty but not quite at the next milestone to plan a big birthday bash. Many renditions of the Hokey Cokey were sung along with Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, I just wanted to collapse.
Food has been fabulous, I could almost turn veggie and was for three days, but on Wednesday night, the chicken looked too good so I gave in and devoured many delicious pieces.
Lessons began in earnest today (Friday 13th) with all the students developing creative teaching resources, delivering phonics to standards 1, 2 and 3, whilst others role played and sang more songs. Please bear in mind that this post was initially conceived 24 hours ago, but delayed thanks to India time.
