Today was my first day teaching the ‘rougher’ group of year 7/8 students. Most of these students are Maori, which have a reputation for being a bit more rowdy and ‘cheeky.’ I found them to be quite lovely for the most part and although I was run a bit ragged at times, the day went smoothly and I enjoyed myself. In this particular class, their day starts off with swimming at 9am, which allowed me to see what their personalities may be like the rest of the day. It went pretty well, although some of the boys goofed off a bit. Meh.
The best part of the day was in the afternoon when I was allowed to help the students build a rainforest out of paper on a section of the wall. It turned out quite lovely I thought. :)
After class, I helped staple the rest of the papers up and went for a long bike ride.
Came home and fiddled around on the computer, then rode back to the workshop to see Dave and brought 3 beers for us to drink with Steve. Yum! Cold beer when you are hot is such a nice treat! Dave and I headed to the beach but it was cold, so we headed home to make dinner and rest.
