I'm gonna try out using colour this time (since Joel discovered it). Hope everybody in blogland is doing well. As usual i've left blogging to the last 5 minutes of internet time and so must be brief.
I finally realised why teachers of young children institute a 'nap time' in class. Anybody who tells you its for the development of the child is bullshitting you - Its so teachers can catch 40 winks too! I never realised how difficult and tiring primary school teaching is. I always used to laugh when people said teaching was hard: The hours are good, you get cr*p loads of holidays etc etc. Well i've changed my mind. I have a new found respect for teachers, its tiring, you have to prepare, if you didn't have holidays you'd go insane.
Now i'm making it sound as though i don't enjoy teaching....well that's NOT true. I love it. My class are wicked (and actually slightly intelligent, unlike Sasha, Jo and P'nina's children). They're funny little 8 year olds. I'm teaching class P3 (primary school goes from classes 1-6). The kids are aged between 8 and 10 as classes here are based on ability not age, hence why Jo (who teaches P2) has a 14 year old (with one leg) in her class. I teach in Morning Star International (?!) School and its lots of fun. (I don't know why i changed the colour there, i just felt like it).
Right g2g (as they say) because i have like 45 seconds left on the net now. Hope england and any other country you're reading this from is good!
much Love
DAN
