After a breakfast of banana and honey crepes I meet up with Lee-Ann at around 10:00 and head to B's who has sorted us out with a taxi to take us to our destination. We arrive at the classroom and the teacher is not in, we are greeted with a loud hello from all the kids and after an awkward wait of a few seconds the teacher arrives.
The children are very loud and lively but they are busy doing drawings when we arrive. Most of them have finished and they leave for lunch at 11:30 giving us a chance to clear up before lunch. The children are loud and lively and there are approximately sixteen of them. Still despite this being about half the size of the classes I can expect in the UK it is going to be hard work, especially with the language barrier. The teachers English is fairly basic and the kids don't really speak a word except for hello and a few numbers.
After lunch we head outside so they can stretch their legs and we can do some dance. We try to sing 'Old McDonald' but the language barrier proves tricky so we move on and do the Okey Kokey several times and they love it. Especially the part where everyone runs into the middle and out again.
Tomorrow we have more of an idea of what we can do and we already have a set of ideas to try out. Hopefully they will enjoy them and it will keep them busy. I am shattered, an early night I think.
