We haven't really started teaching yet. We're still observing lessons but we have gone into the classes on our timetable but spend them introducing ourselves. We havn't met all of our students yet and we are constantly getting children asking us what our names are. There are some real sweetiepies though. In the kindergarten off campus there is the cutest little Brazilian girl! Yes I get to teach nursery, ages 3-12 quite a variety but as it is an international school the standard of english is actually pretty high. Some children tried to teach me chinese today. I didn't have the heart to tell them I could already count from 1 to 10. They also tried to teach me banana and pear but at this point there wer 6 of them all talking at me at the same time and I hadno idea what they were saying.
Last night, Izzie and I made an attempt to explore the surrounding area. We found out that our school is right next to one big ass park. It's massive but really nice. When I get my camera sorted and a new memory card (as mine is now full) I shall take some photos.
I haven't spoken to anybody from the nearby schools since we were split up which reminds me that perhaps I should. It would be nice to meet up since they don't live all that far away. As my room is on the school campus I feel as though I'm living in a bubble separate from the rest of the world and I see the same few people everyday. I want to make an attempt to get out of that little box before it loses it's charm. I think at the weekend I shall thoroughly explore and just hop on a bus and see where it takes me. I shall be armed with my school address just in case I get really lost.
