Had a big day at school today. I start the day with taking the year 1's into the library in two separate groups and teaching them the English equivalent of what their teacher is doing at the same time with the other half. This is to reinforce the learning process, I also try to make it a little fun for the munchkins. Today was all about the body and naming bones so I got them to sing 'them dry bones' they loved it!
Then Courtney and I take the grade 2's for an arts and craft lesson which today was colouring in a Kangaroo I had drawn earlier, lunch then three periods of games with the higher year groups. The Indian game of Kho Kho is a fantastic one and when played properly is super competitive. Going to introduce it back home!!!
Hope all is well back home, intending to travel to Kullu town tomorrow after school so maybe another post from there ;) All my love xxx Billy!!!
Hi Kate, are your school days long? And is Grade 2 the same as our Grade 2? e.g for 6-8 year olds?

Hey Mum,
DeleteThe Grade system over here is very much the same, only difference being that they miss Grade 7 as a name and call it Grade 8. All the ages over here are similar but the curriculum is quite different. They are basically expected to do far more here than in Australia, for better and for worse.
Love you heaps, your Billi :)
