Day 10
Thu 27th October - 4.02pm by Tom Cheesmur
Day 10 - an early start, followed by a lovely breakie and a wait for the matatu. We arrived and got straight into teaching lessons.
James, Ben and myself taught a successfully sprinting lessons, although we didn't do much sprinting oursleves, as even by 9.00am it was extremely hot. We taught standard 5 and I have to say they are my favourite class. They loved using the stop watches and enjoyed some competition.
It is actually pretty difficult to teach PE out here as not many of the students have experience the structure of a lesson that we teach at home. We tried doing a dodgeball tournament with two standards together. This was pretty hard to organise but I was really proud of our boys as they adapted their session and set up lots of different sports for the students to try. I was impressed and I think it was a good experience for our boys!!!!
Rhys was especially amusing when he was running round trying to get all the students from under the shade to try and get involved. Good job Rhys !!!
I managed to look round a few other lessons today. There were loads of creative ideas that our boys were putting over to the africian students. One student that will remain nameless as to not embarrass him stood out. He was teaching a very difficult subject and was totally amazing, he managed to get his point across and get some excellent answer back from the students. A natural teacher !!!!!
This was the highlight for me today !!!! Looking forward to tomorrow mornings PPI !!!!!
