hey again!
so to continue from yesterday, it ended up that we didnt go to the handicap school. We told Saula (guy in charge of us) that we had a really good time at the school so he said that we could stay there. So we spent our afternoon at the beach!! and stayed until sunset, it was very beautiful and there was a wedding (as we were in a resort hotel place and secretly used their pool too!). Then we went back home for dinner, we took a minibus which just looks like a normal mini bus at home but you call them down like taxis. They are apparently the best way to travel as they wont rip you off and its literally like a couple of fijian dollars so like a pound at home!! We had dinner at home and another volunteer arrived to join our crew of girls! We rented a chick flick for a night in, however i only managed to stay up until 9 and headed to bed!!
Today we spent another morning at the school. Me and amie went in with a bit more of a plan today and we were really impressed with how the children worked. As we are teaching two years in one class it is so hard to be able to provide activities for such a wide range of abilities. Some love to work, whereas others (like boys) love to fight!! oh dear! We arranged a lesson on the body and learning how to spell words around the body, and I then did some stuff on where animals come from, as i thought it was really neccessary after they thought lions and penguins were in australia!! i also feel that i should do a lesson on england because they think the queen lives in australia!!
anyway we have just bought so new marker pens and paper as the school has no good materials so hopefully if we keep lessons planned we can keep them amused. Because we were doing the body today i taught them head shoulders knees and toes. They loved it!! I wish i could have filmed them doing the actions as the smiles on their faces were AMAZING!
we are planning a big trip this weekend to stay on a desert island a 4hr boat ride from Nadi, but I think it will be worth it!! Apparently the further you go from the main island the more beautiful they are!
speak soooon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
