Grade 11 retreat

6 December, 2007 | 0 COMMENTS

So its been well over a week since I've posted on the blog, apologies, the past week has been extremely busy. Coming up to Christmas, reports are due, its my first experience of writing reports to parents about how their kids are doing. There are some very good kids, and some not so good kids who it is easy to write about. However, a lot of them blend in and its hard to come up with an individual comment for them.

We came home and looked for some accomodat...

Hopefully they continue to give my head peace.Street ministry this week was much more normal, and though the police were there again, they were there to protect us this time. They sat and listened while we talked with the same guys who we were talking with the previous week. Some ...

I'm still trying to find my feet as a teacher, as I've been kind of thrown in at the deep end; I'm teaching grade 7 and 8 which are the notorious classes for behaviour in the school.Monday I had a lesson observation, which I'd purposely scheduled to be with my grade 10 class. It went very well, as I knew it would. The...

Hallowe'en in Ethiopia

4 November, 2007 | 0 COMMENTS

Another week over here. I've managed to shake my stomach problems, having decided that they were linked to my malaria medication. As soon as I stopped taking the medication, I've been fine. I'll have to talk to the doctors here regarding what to do about that.My regular website continues to give trouble, so I'll upload some more here. I've uploaded some pictures as well.Teaching continues to go well, the English as 2nd Language kids are especially likeable. I have my first le...
