Happy
Monday, everyone! I hope you’ve all had a smashing day.
Today, I
got my first taste of the Kindergarten I’ll be working at and all I can say is:
WOW! I was once again greeted by the friendliest staff you could imagine as
well as the sweetest children. They were all keen to introduce themselves and
their most interesting Lego creations...
I’ll be
teaching there, helping the children with their English. This will surely
involve a lot of jumping up and down, running around, and silly songs. I.
Cannot. Wait.
I also
introduced myself to my first-year International Studies class. This involved
getting them all outside of the classroom in order to form a large circle. The
name of the game was, well, Name Aerobics. Each person had to give their name
then performed a funny little dance move before trying to remember their fellow
classmates’ names and moves. Cue the most giggling I’ve heard in quite some
time.
Despite
their excellent dancing, the first-years didn’t escape from the Marmite
challenge. As you can imagine, there were plenty cries of disgust this week as
well.
My
favourite part of the lesson though? That was easily the presentations that the
students had prepared regarding my beloved home city of Leicester. Did you know
that it’s the tenth largest city in the UK? Nope, neither did I until today!
After
school, I attended a little social mixer for the newest residents of Kalajoki
which provided a great opportunity to talk to people I may not have otherwise
met.
After an
action-packed day, I’m ready to relax and prepare myself for tomorrow’s adventures.
Until then...Hei hei!
