We walked to the grade school and I began the day doing circle time
activities with grade 3. Lots of fun, I think they have the children
with the most English in that class. My mission today was to sort out
the library a little to make it easier to gather resources in the
morning. The ministry did a spot check and many rooms had to be swapped
around so the resources are in a bit of disarray. Afterwards I went over
to Grade 1 to help out with their maths lesson - simple addition, again
lots of fun, they love getting red ticks from me! Shortly after this it
began to rain and did not stop until lunch time which meant that the
playground was one big muddy puddle - not that it stopped the children
playing - I watch a little girl splash right from one end of the
playground to the other and then stamp off the wet (her feet must have
been soaking), I suppose there is nothing better than a muddy puddle! We
didn't go home for lunch and so I enjoyed my date jam sandwich and went
into the Eating Room to see what the children were having. I was very
surprised to see lots of pasta being consumed and of course... injera!
I dipped in on grade two this afternoon and helped out with a lesson on number ordering, they were very good at it - especially when I started writing excellent on their work and the teacher got the stickers out! After school there was a tiny chick at the bottom of the tree in the playground so we all spent some time watching it and discussing it's fate.
Me and the children went back to KG on the school service and then I walked them home, after which I ducked into the guest house to have a shower and unfortunately again the power went out, so it was cold :-( I went down for a lovely dinner of rice, pasta and sauce with a fork!!! and ate so much that my belly hurts.
THINGS I LEARNT TODAY:
Rain does NOT stop play in Africa
There are a few nasty spiders here I should look out for and kill if I see.
